Funded Activity Summary

Integrating Quality Control into Crowd-sourcing Services. This project aims to contribute to the scientific foundations of quality control in crowd-sourcing services. Crowd-sourcing services harness the wisdom of large communities to solve problems. Open projects (eg Linux, Wikipedia) have successfully used crowd sourcing. Increasingly, organisations and governments are using crowd-sourcing to improve products and services. However, there are significant risks due to lack of robust quality control methods. The project aims to contribute to the first methodology and techniques for systematic provisioning of robust crowd-sourcing quality control mechanisms. It is expected that project outcomes would contribute to lifting productivity and economic growth through quality-aware crowd sourcing service technologies.
