TY - JOUR AU - Chamberlain, Jon PY - 2014/09/05 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Groupsourcing: Distributed Problem Solving Using Social Networks JF - Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing JA - HCOMP VL - 2 IS - 1 SE - Research Papers DO - 10.1609/hcomp.v2i1.13162 UR - https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/HCOMP/article/view/13162 SP - 22-29 AB - <p> Crowdsourcing and citizen science have established themselves in the mainstream of research methodology in recent years, employing a variety of methods to solve problems using human computation. An approach described here, termed "groupsourcing", uses social networks to present problems and collect solutions. This paper details a method for archiving social network messages and investigates messages containing an image classification task in the domain of marine biology. In comparison to other methods, groupsourcing offers a high accuracy, data-driven and low cost approach. </p> ER -
