Crowdsourcing contest dilemma

open access: yes, 2014
Crowdsourcing offers unprecedented potential for solving tasks efficiently by tapping into the skills of large groups of people. A salient feature of crowdsourcing—its openness of entry—makes it vulnerable to malicious behaviour.

The optimized selection strategy of crowdsourcing members in cloud-based design and manufacturing platform

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
Crowdsourcing services and cloud-based design and manufacturing platforms have been combined into an emerging network service model. Due to the diversity and differences of crowdsourcing members in the platform, member optimized selection process is ...

Crowdsourced Bayesian auctions [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 3rd Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference, 2012
We investigate the problem of optimal mechanism design, where an auctioneer wants to sell a set of goods to buyers, in order to maximize revenue. In a Bayesian setting the buyers’ valuations for the goods are drawn from a prior distribution \(\mathcal{D}\), which is often assumed to be known by the seller.

Turning a new leaf: PhenoVision provides leaf phenology data at the global scale

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plant phenology dictates many aspects of community function and ecosystem dynamics. Yet, global phenology data are still limited, especially in areas lacking monitoring programs. Here we present a new data resource, PhenoVision–Leaf, which extends a computer vision pipeline utilizing iNaturalist digital image vouchers to produce global‐

Optimal Crowdsourcing Contests [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Twenty-Third Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, 2012
We study the design and approximation of optimal crowdsourcing contests. Crowdsourcing contests can be modeled as all-pay auctions because entrants must exert effort up-front to enter. Unlike all-pay auctions where a usual design objective would be to maximize revenue, in crowdsourcing contests, the principal only benefits from the submission with the ...

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.
