  • Publication number: 20140358605
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for crowdsourcing a task. The method comprises presenting the task to one or more crowdworkers based on their reputation scores and a redundancy degree associated with the task. The task comprises one or more sub-tasks. A plurality of responses to the task are received from the one or more crowdworkers. Each response further comprises one or more sub-responses each of which in turn corresponds to a response for a sub-task of the one or more sub-tasks. A first set of sub-tasks is identified from the one or more sub-tasks based on a first set of similar sub-responses received for the first set of sub-tasks from the plurality of responses. A first set of crowdworkers from the one or more crowdworkers who provided the first set of similar sub-responses for the first set of sub-tasks are remunerated.

  • Patent number: 8893290
    Abstract: A method and a system for detecting anomalies within a voluminous private data are provided. The voluminous private data, including sensitive information corresponding to one or more objects within the voluminous private data is received. The sensitive information within the voluminous private data is identified, and identified sensitive information is modified to generate a modified voluminous private data. The sensitive information is marked in the modified voluminous private data to generate a marked voluminous private data. The anomaly within the marked voluminous private data is detected.

  • Publication number: 20140229413
    Abstract: A method and system for recommending one or more tasks from a plurality of crowdsourcing tasks to a crowdworker is disclosed. The method includes identifying one or more categories for the plurality of tasks on the plurality of crowdsourcing platforms. In response to the identifying, determining, at a login time, values of one or more utility parameters of the crowdworker corresponding to the one or more categories. After identifying, the method selects the one or more tasks from the plurality of tasks by choosing one or more constraints on the determined values of the one or more utility parameters of the crowdworker. The method then recommends to the crowdworker at the login time, the one or more tasks associated with the crowdworker based on selected one or more tasks.

  • Publication number: 20140188787
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relates to a crowdsourcing directory system. The crowdsourcing directory system is configured for identifying and comparing one or more of a plurality of crowdsourcing platforms based on a plurality of attributes associated with each of the plurality of crowdsourcing platforms. The crowdsourcing directory system then recommends a set of crowdsourcing platforms from the one or more crowdsourcing platforms based on values of the plurality of attributes. The crowdsourcing directory system also maintains a repository of information pertaining to the plurality of crowdsourcing platforms. In an embodiment, the repository may be updated by implementing software adaptors configured to extract various information pertaining to the plurality of crowdsourcing platforms.

  • Publication number: 20130290128
    Abstract: The application discloses systems and methods for evaluating bids submitted by providers in response to a reverse auction process initiated by a buyer. The disclosed system determines an attribute utility score of the bid and total performance scores of providers based on the past performance records of the providers. The total performance scores of providers are determined by computing a positive deviation score, a negative deviation score, a performance among peers score, and a bid performance score of the provider. The system further sums the determined attribute utility score and the total performance score to obtain a rank of the submitted bid.
