Free Market of Crowdsourcing: Incentive Mechanism Design for Mobile Sensing

by Xinglin Zhang, Student Member, Zheng Yang, Zimu Zhou, Student Member, Haibin Cai, Lei Chen, Xiangyang Li, Senior Member
"... Abstract—Off-the-shelf smartphones have boosted large scale participatory sensing applications as they are equipped with various functional sensors, possess powerful computation and communication capabilities, and proliferate at a breathtaking pace. Yet the low participation level of smartphone user ..."

Crowdsourcing to smartphones: incentive mechanism design for mobile phone sensing

by Dejun Yang, Guoliang Xue, Jian Tang, Xi Fang - in Proceedings of the 18th annual international conference on Mobile computing and networking (Mobicom 2012 , 2012
"... Mobile phone sensing is a new paradigm which takes advantage of the pervasive smartphones to collect and analyze data beyond the scale of what was previously possible. In a mobile phone sensing system, the platform recruits smartphone users to provide sensing service. Existing mobile phone sensing a ..."

applications and systems lack good incentive mechanisms that can attract more user participation. To address this issue, we design incentive mechanisms for mobile phone sensing. We consider two system models: the platform-centric model where the platform provides a reward shared by participating users

Location-based crowdsourcing: extending crowdsourcing to the real world

by Florian Alt, Alireza Sahami Shirazi, Albrecht Schmidt, Urs Kramer, Zahid Nawaz - In Proceedings of the 6th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Extending Boundaries, NordiCHI ’10 , 2010
"... The WWW and the mobile phone have become an essential means for sharing implicitly and explicitly generated information and a communication platform for many people. With the increasing ubiquity of location sensing included in mobile devices we investigate the arising opportunities for mobile crowds ..."

crowdsourcing making use of the real world context. In this paper we assess how the idea of user-generated content, web-based crowdsourcing, and mobile electronic coordination can be combined to extend crowdsourcing beyond the digital domain and link it to tasks in the real world. To explore our concept we

Zee: Zero-effort Crowdsourcing for Indoor Localization

by Anshul Rai, Krishna Kant Chintalapudi, Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Rijurekha Sen - In Proceedings of ACM International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom
"... Radio Frequency (RF) fingerprinting, based on WiFi or cellular signals, has been a popular approach to indoor localization. However, its adoption in the real world has been stymied by the need for sitespecific calibration, i.e., the creation of a training data set comprising WiFi measurements at kno ..."

to be crowdsourced without any explicit effort on the part of users. Zee leverages the inertial sensors (e.g., accelerometer, compass, gyroscope) present in the mobile devices such as smartphones carried by users, to track them as they traverse an indoor environment, while simultaneously performing WiFi scans. Zee

Reputation-based incentive protocols in crowdsourcing applications

by Yu Zhang, Mihaela Van Der Schaar - In 31st IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications (IEEE Infocom , 2012
"... Mechanical Turk, and etc.) emerged in recent years that allow requesters from all around the world to post tasks and seek help from an equally global pool of workers. However, intrinsic incentive problems reside in crowdsourcing applications as workers and requester are selfish and aim to strategica ..."

Crowdsourcing with Trembles: Incentive Mechanisms for Mobile Phones with Uncertain Sensing Time

by Shiyu Ji, Tingting Chen, Fan Wu
"... Abstract—Mobile phone sensing has become increas-ingly popular since it can collect and analyze real-time data anywhere anytime, especially with the help of mobile phone users via crowdsourcing. In order to stabilize the mobile crowdsourcing at a massive scale, incentive mecha-nisms are needed not o ..."

You’re hired! an examination of crowdsourcing incentive models in human resource tasks

by Christopher G. Harris - in WSDM Workshop on Crowdsourcing for Search and Data Mining (CSDM
"... Many human resource tasks, such as screening a large number of job candidates, are labor-intensive and rely on subjective evaluation, making them excellent candidates for crowdsourcing. We conduct several experiments using the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform to conduct resume reviews. We then apply ..."

several incentive-based models and examine their effects. Next, we assess the accuracy measures of our incentive models against a gold standard and ascertain which incentives provide the best results. We find that some incentives actually encourage quality if the task is designed appropriately.

A General-purpose Crowdsourcing Platform for Mobile Devices

by Ariel Amato, Felipe Lumbreras
"... Abstract: This paper presents details of a general purpose micro-task on-demand platform based on the crowdsourcing philosophy. This platform was specifically developed for mobile devices in order to exploit the strengths of such devices; namely: i) massivity, ii) ubiquity and iii) embedded sensors. ..."

Verification in referral-based crowdsourcing

by Victor Naroditskiy, Iyad Rahwan, Manuel Cebrian, Nicholas R. Jennings - PLoS ONE
"... Online social networks offer unprecedented potential for rallying a large number of people to accomplish a given task. Here we focus on information gathering tasks where rare information is sought through ‘‘referral-based crowdsourcing’’: the information request is propagated recursively through inv ..."

Toward Worker-Centric Crowdsourcing

by Sihem Amer-Yahia , Senjuti Basu Roy
"... Abstract Today, crowdsourcing is used to "taskify" any job ranging from simple receipt transcription to collaborative editing, fan-subbing, and citizen science. Existing work has mainly focused on improving the processes of task assignment and task completion in a requester-centric way by ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
In this subsection, we describe human factors that are pertinent to tasks, namely Feedback and Incentives. Skill Variety represents the number of different skills a task requires from a worker. Task Identity represents whether a task is part of a bigger task or not. Task Autonomy indicates if a worker depends
