Hybrid Crowdsourcing Platform

摘要

Systems and methods for implementing a hybrid crowdsourcing platform are provided. The hybrid crowdsourcing platform can receive a work request having a task with a plurality of units of work. One or more of the units of work can be suitable for completion by either a computer-based resource or a crowdsourcing resource. The individual units of work for the task can be analyzed to identify metrics associated with completion of the unit of work by the crowdsourcing resource and by the computer-based resource. Based on these metrics, the units of work can be assigned for completion by either the crowdsourcing resource or by the computer-based resource to improve the utility of the solution to the task.

1. A computer-implemented method for providing a solution for a task, comprising:
receiving, by one or more computing devices, a work request comprising at least one task having a unit of work; identifying, by one or more computing devices, a parameter associated with the unit of work; analyzing, by one or more computing devices, the parameter associated with the unit of work to identify a first metric associated with the completion of the unit of work by a crowdsourcing resource and to identify a second metric associated with the completion of the unit of work by a computer-based resource, and selecting, by one or more computing devices, between the crowdsourcing resource and the computer-based resource for completion of the unit of work using a utility function providing a measure of the utility of a response by the crowdsourcing resource and the computer-based resource based at least in part on the first and second metrics.
