Crowdsourcing Workflows: Collaborative Planning and Execution

  • The results of the previous section suggest that the crowd can sometimes produce acceptable results in planning and executing solutions to general requests, but more frequently face challenges.
  • This section elaborates more on informal experiments for both approaches, first with an expert crowd of workers recruited at UC Berkeley, and the second with a Mechanical Turk crowd.
  • Researchers re-ran the essay-writing, blog creation, and natural-language query tasks discussed earlier.

At least two different strategies to address these challenges are plausible:

  • The first strategy is to recruit more expert workers.
  • The second strategy is to allow requesters to monitor and selectively intervene in the process.
