- Item Retrieval and Team Formation: Sihem Amer-Yahia
Abstract Research in crowdsourcing is receiving increasing attention from the
scientific community. The availability of platforms enabling the real
deployment of micro-tasks, such as, tagging a picture or rating a
movie, but also collaborative tasks, such as, fan-subbing, citizen
science, and citizen journalism, is contributing to this trend. A
nascent research question is the study of automatic worker-to-task
assignment as an alternative to workers self-appointing themselves to
tasks. In this talk, we examine how research results in two areas,
composite item retrieval and team formation, can be leveraged to address
worker-to-task assignment problems for both micro-tasks and
collaborative tasks.
This is joint work with Senjuti Basu Roy, Gautam Das, Habibur Rahman
and Saravanan Thirumuruganathan.
