Low Effort Crowdsourcing: Leveraging Peripheral Attention for Crowd Work
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crowdsourcing systems leverage short bursts of focused attention from many contributors to achieve a goal. By requiring people’s full attention, existing crowdsourcing systems fail to leverage people’s cognitive surplus in the many settings for which they may be distracted, performing or waiting to perform another task, or barely paying attention. In this paper, we study opportunities for loweffort crowdsourcing that enable people to contribute to problem solving in such settings. We discuss the design space for low-effort crowdsourcing, and through a series of prototypes, demonstrate interaction techniques, mechanisms, and emerging principles for enabling low-effort

Leveraging crowd potentials through low paid crowdsourcing micro-tasks has attracted great attention in the last decade as it proves to be a powerful new paradigm to get large amounts of work done quickly. A main challenge for crowdsourcers has been to design tasks that trigger optimum outputs from the crowd while providing crowdsourcees with an experience that would attract them to the platfor...
متن کاملExploring the Process of Web-based Crowdsourcing Innovation
Since the concepts of "customer innovation" (2002) and “crowdsourcing” (2006) were introduced, researchers have focused their attention on the phenomenon of crowdsourcing innovation. Relevant research includes the crowd’s characteristics, the crowd’s applicability in different phases of developing innovations, and instrumental aspects of web-based crowd innovation. However, there has been no re...
متن کاملPerform Three Data Mining Tasks with Crowdsourcing Process
For data mining studies, because of the complexity of doing feature selection process in tasks by hand, we need to send some of labeling to the workers with crowdsourcing activities. The process of outsourcing data mining tasks to users is often handled by software systems without enough knowledge of the age or geography of the users' residence. Uncertainty about the performance of virtual user...
متن کاملCost-Saving Effect of Crowdsourcing Learning
Crowdsourcing is widely adopted in many domains as a popular paradigm to outsource work to individuals. In the machine learning community, crowdsourcing is commonly used as a cost-saving way to collect labels for training data. While a lot of effort has been spent on developing methods for inferring labels from a crowd, few work concentrates on the theoretical foundation of crowdsourcing learni...
متن کاملExploring Repeatability on Mechanical Turk
Crowdsourcing is gaining attention from companies looking for a low-cost, scalable labor force as well as from researchers seeking to leverage human intelligence and study human cognition. Much current crowdsourcing research is related to discovering methods for obtaining high-quality, trustworthy output from the crowd. One element of quality crowd-generated work is repeatability; ie, results a...
