Until recently, QoE (Quality of Experience) experiments had to be conducted in academic
laboratories; however, with the advent of ubiquitous Internet access, it is now possible to ask …

In this paper, we provide a simple game-theoretic model of an online question and answer
forum. We focus on factual questions in which user responses aggregate while a question …

Human computation is a technique that makes use of human abilities for computation to
solve problems. The human computation problems are the problems those computers are …

Crowdsourcing has emerged in recent years as a potential strategy to enlist the general
public to solve a wide variety of tasks. With the advent of ubiquitous Internet access, it is now …

Writing good software tests is difficult, not every software developer's favorite occupation,
and not a prominent aspect in programming education. However, human involvement in …

Crowdsourcing systems aim to solve complex tasks by engaging a multitude of humans
through mobile and social media and by harnessing their ability to perform specific subtasks …

The ubiquitous access to computing systems has spurred the design of a variety of human
computation systems, each aiming to harness the power of human computation to tackle …

The paradigm of" human computation" seeks to harness human abilities to solve
computational problems or otherwise perform distributed work that is beyond the scope of …

Creating descriptive labels for pictures is an important task with applications in image
retrieval, Web accessibility and computer vision. Automatic creation of such labels is difficult …

We present a simple game-theoretic model for the ESP game, an interactive game devised
to label images on the web, and characterize the equilibrium behavior of the model. We …
