Crowdsourcing user studies with Mechanical Turk

by Aniket Kittur, H. Chi, Bongwon Suh - Proc. CHI 2008, ACM Pres , 2008
"... User studies are important for many aspects of the design process and involve techniques ranging from informal surveys to rigorous laboratory studies. However, the costs involved in engaging users often requires practitioners to trade off between sample size, time requirements, and monetary costs. M ..."
Abstract - Cited by 461 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
. Micro-task markets, such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, offer a potential paradigm for engaging a large number of users for low time and monetary costs. Here we investigate the utility of a micro-task market for collecting user measurements, and discuss design considerations for developing remote micro

Randomized kinodynamic planning

by Steven M. Lavalle, James J. Kuffner, Jr. - THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBOTICS RESEARCH 2001; 20; 378 , 2001
"... This paper presents the first randomized approach to kinodynamic planning (also known as trajectory planning or trajectory design). The task is to determine control inputs to drive a robot from an initial configuration and velocity to a goal configuration and velocity while obeying physically based ..."

Distributed Cognition: Toward a New Foundation for Human-Computer Interaction Research

by James Hollan, Edwin Hutchins, David Kirsh - ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction , 2000
"... We are quickly passing through the historical moment when people work in front of a single computer, dominated by a small CRT and focused on tasks involving only local information. Networked computers are becoming ubiquitous and are playing increasingly significant roles in our lives and in the basi ..."

Pricing Mechanisms for Crowdsourcing Markets ∗

by Yaron Singer, Manas Mittal
"... Every day millions of crowdsourcing tasks are performed in exchange for payments. Despite the important role pricing plays in crowdsourcing campaigns and the complexity of the market, most platforms do not provide requesters appropriate tools for effective pricing and allocation of tasks. In this pa ..."

To Crowdsource or not to Crowdsource?

by Gireeja Ranade, Lav R. Varshney
"... Crowdsourcing contests—events to solicit solutions to problems via an open-call format for prizes—have gained ground as a mechanism for organizations to accomplish tasks. This paper uses game-theoretic models to develop design principles for crowdsourcing contests and answer the questions: what type ..."

Task Decomposition, Dynamic Role Assignment, and Low-Bandwidth Communication for Real-Time Strategic Teamwork

by Peter Stone, Manuela Veloso - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 1999
"... Multi-agent domains consisting of teams of agents that need to collaborate in an adversarial environment offer challenging research opportunities. In this article, we introduce periodic team synchronization (PTS) domains as time-critical environments in which agents act autonomously with low commu ..."
Abstract - Cited by 220 (20 self) - Add to MetaCart
team agent structure allows agents to capture and reason about team agreements. We achieve collaboration between agents through the introduction of formations. A formation decomposes the task space defining a set of roles. Homogeneous agents can flexibly switch roles within formations, and agents

Taking Email to Task: The Design and Evaluation of a Task Management Centered Email Tool

by Victoria Bellotti, Nicolas Ducheneaut, Mark Howard, Ian Smith , 2003
"... Email has come to play a central role in task management, yet email tool features have remained relatively static in recent years, lagging behind users ’ evolving practices. The Taskmaster system narrows this gap by recasting email as task management and embedding task-centric resources directly in ..."

Experience With a Learning Personal Assistant

by Tom Mitchell, Rich Caruana, Dayne Freitag, John McDermott, David Zabowski , 1994
"... Personal software assistants that help users with tasks like finding information, scheduling calendars, or managing work-flow will require significant customization to each individual user. For example, an assistant that helps schedule a particular user’s calendar will have to know that user’s sched ..."

A Meta-Model for the Analysis and Design of Organizations in Multi-Agent Systems

by Jacques Ferber, Olivier Gutknecht , 1998
"... This paper presents a generic meta-model of multi-agent systems based on organizational concepts such as groups, roles and structures. This model, called AALAADIN, defines a very simple description of coordination and negotiation schemes through multi-agent systems. Aalaadin is a meta-model of artif ..."

Cooperative Coevolution: An Architecture for Evolving Coadapted Subcomponents

by Mitchell A. Potter, Kenneth A. De Jong - Evolutionary Computation , 2000
"... To successfully apply evolutionary algorithms to the solution of increasingly complex problems, we must develop effective techniques for evolving solutions in the form of interacting coadapted subcomponents. One of the major difficulties is finding computational extensions to our current evolutionar ..."
Abstract - Cited by 245 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart
evolutionary paradigms that will enable such subcomponents to “emerge ” rather than being hand designed. In this paper, we describe an architecture for evolving such subcomponents as a collection of cooperating species. Given a simple stringmatching task, we show that evolutionary pressure to increase
