Crowdsourcing the Human Gut. Is crowdsourcing also 'citizen science'? [PDF]
Journal of Science Communication, 2016 The participation of non-professionally trained people in so-called citizen science (CS) projects is a much discussed topic at the moment. Frequently, however, the contribution of citizens is limited to only a few narrow tasks. Focusing on an initiative dedicated to the study of the human microbiome, this paper describes such a case where citizen ...

Optimal Crowdsourcing Contests [PDF]
Proceedings 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 ...

Gamification in Crowdsourcing: A Review
2016 49th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), 2016 This study investigates how different gamification implementations can increase crowdsourcees' motivation and participation in crowdsourcing (CS). To this end, we review empirical literature that has investigated the use of gamification in crowdsourcing settings.

Debiasing Crowdsourced Batches [PDF]
Proceedings of the 21th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 2015 Crowdsourcing is the de-facto standard for gathering annotated data. While, in theory, data annotation tasks are assumed to be attempted by workers independently, in practice, data annotation tasks are often grouped into batches to be presented and annotated by workers together, in order to save on the time or cost overhead of providing instructions or
