Crowdsourced Work Made Cheaper With Qurk

Crowdsourced Work Made Cheaper With Qurk
Summary MIT researchers find that tasks given to people can still be improved through the involvement of computers.
Description Qurk helps people build crowd-powered data processing workflows using a language similar to Apache Pig.
It turns out that while humans may be better at certain tasks than computers, like judging the age of a person in a photograph, they're not very efficient at generating HITs--descriptions that identify the work to be done--and their performance can be enhanced through a better user interface, as well as through reuse of workflow implementations.
