Crowdsourcing Processes: A Survey of Approaches and Opportunities

Abstract

This article makes a case for crowdsourcing approaches that are able to manage crowdsourcing processes, that is, crowdsourcing scenarios that go beyond the mere outsourcing of multiple instances of a micro-task and instead require the coordination of multiple different crowd and machine tasks. It introduces the necessary background and terminology, identifies a set of analysis dimensions, and surveys state-of-the-art tools, highlighting strong and weak aspects and promising future research and development directions.

Volunteer selection based on crowdsourcing approach

“…According to Kucherbaev et al (2016) crowdsourcing is not only deploying a set of simple micro-tasks on a given platform but may comprise several different tasks (writing, transcribing, classifying, aggregating, spell checking, and voting), actors (workers, and experts) and automated operations (data splitting, resolving redundancy of multiple delegations, making decisions, and synchronizing tasks).…”

A Crowdsourcing Approach for Volunteering System

“…The sequence of crowdsourcing process is independent of the order in which a seeker (an organization or individual) decides on the individual characteristics when it plans the process. According to Kucherbaev et al [35] crowdsourcing is not only deploying a set of simple micro-tasks on a given platform but may comprise several different tasks (writing, transcribing, classifying, aggregating, spell checking, and voting), actors (workers, and experts) and automated operations (data splitting, resolving redundancy of multiple delegations, making decisions, and synchronizing tasks).…”

Dataflow-Driven Crowdsourcing: Relational Models and Algorithms

“…Среди примеров следует отметить CrowdForge адаптацию парадигмы MapReduce, в которой этапы отображения и редукции заменены на краудсорсинго-вые задачи [8], а также CrowdDB расширение языка SQL, включающее оператор CROWD для запуска заданий на MTurk при выполнении запроса на манипулирование данными [9]. Также известны эксперименты по переносу различных нотаций моде-лирования бизнес-процессов и парадигм декларативного программирования [10].…”
