Paying Crowd Workers for Collaborative Work
Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 2019Collaborative crowdsourcing tasks allow crowd workers to solve problems that they could not handle alone, but worker motivation in these tasks is not well understood. In this paper, we study how to motivate groups of workers by paying them equitably. To this end, we characterize existing collaborative tasks based on the types of information available ...

Enhancing Work Flow to Reduce Crowding
The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, 2007Approximately one third of hospitals in the United States report increases in ambulance diversion in a given year, whereas up to half report crowded conditions in the emergency department (ED). In a recent national survey, 40% of hospital leaders viewed ED crowding as a symptom of workforce shortages.

Crowd Work CV: Recognition for Micro Work
2015With an increasing micro-labor supply and a larger available workforce, new microtask platforms have emerged providing an extensive list of marketplaces where microtasks are offered by requesters and completed by crowd workers. The current microtask crowdsourcing infrastructure does not offer the possibility to be recognised for already accomplished ...

Crowd work with or without crowdsourcing platforms
2016 IEEE 20th International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (CSCWD), 2016Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT), oDesk, InnoCentive, Science Exchange and others are on rapid rise in recent years. By outsourcing work to a network of people, they provide a more economical and efficient means of production.

Mobile Crowd Computing with Work Stealing
2012 15th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems, 2012By pooling together the processing power of mobile devices within a crowd to form a 'mobile cloud', these devices be efficiently utilized to help realize the full potential of mobile computing. However, the dynamic nature of mobile computing makes sharing and coordinating work non-trivial. Although never been used before in the mobile computing domain,

New Scientist, 2018
It turns out crowds really can make accurate predictions--so accurate, in fact, that they promise to permanently change how states analyse intelligence. One existing way of doing it is with prediction markets. This is a form of gambling in which people buy shares in the outcome of a future event, commonly sports fixtures and ...

The crowding-out of work ethics [PDF]
, 2001 This paper analyses optimal contracts in a principal-agent model where the agent is intrinsically motivated at the outset and there is an endogenous relationship between the structure of incentive payments and intrinsic motivation (crowding effects). The analysis shows that crowding effects have implications for the optimal contract and that under some

Crowding Effects and Work Ethics
Labour, 2006Abstract. This paper analyses optimal contracts in a principal–agent model where the agent is intrinsically motivated, and there is an endogenous relationship between the structure of incentive payments and intrinsic motivation (crowding effects). The analysis shows that crowding effects have implications for the optimal contract, and that, under some

Distributed estimation via paid crowd work
2016 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2016Consider a distributed estimation problem to be carried out by paid crowdworkers, where results are to be returned quickly and accurately. Estimation accuracy is a function of the number of workers completing the job and of the quality of the workers, both of which may be influenced by the payment offered. With limited budget, payment allocation should
