The Theory of Crowdsourcing Contests, UW CSE
When: Thursday, November 15, 2012, 3:30pm
Where: CSE 520 Colloquium EEB-105
What: Crowdsourcing contests have been popularized by the Netflix challenge and websites like TopCoder and Taskcn. What is a crowdsourcing contest? Imagine you are designing a new web service, you have it all coded up, but the site looks bad because you haven’t got any graphic design skills. You could hire an artist to design your logo, or you could post the design task as a competition to crowdsourcing website Taskcn with a monetary reward of $100. Contestants on Taskcn would then compete to produce the best logo. You then select your favorite logo and award that contestant the $100 prize.
