Catching but a glimpse?—Navigating crowdsourced solution spaces with transformer‐based language models

Creativity and Innovation Management, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 718-741, December 2024.
Current approaches for identifying valuable content among the multitude of solutions in crowdsourcing contests are resource‐intensive and constrained by human processing capacity. As idea convergence processes usually focus on filtering out single ideas, the potential of solution‐related knowledge among the heterogeneous ideas is not exploited in a ...
