论文摘要
现有的研究表明，人群工人对在上下文，领域和所需技术方面执行类似的任务更感兴趣，而不是来自同一项目的任务。因此，对于任务所有者而言，重要的是不仅能够计划“何时应该到达新任务？”而且，要证明“战略任务到达计划应该是什么？”为了接收有效提交的已发布任务。为了解决这些问题，本研究报告了对平台中相似任务到达的影响，对任务的成功水平和工人绩效的影响的实证分析。我们的研究支持，1-相似性水平大于70％的较高数量的到达任务对任务竞争水平会产生负面影响，2-更大的相似的开放和到达任务池将导致降低工人的吸引力和弹性，而3-工人注册了具有较低相似性的任务的3个工人，可以更可靠地提供有效的提交任务，并提供40％的库存。
Existed studies have shown that crowd workers are more interested in taking similar tasks in terms of context, field, and required technology, rather than tasks from the same project. Therefore, it is important for task owners to not only be able to plan 'when the new task should arrive?' but also, to justify 'what the strategic task arrival plan should be?' in order to receive a valid submission for the posted task. To address these questions this research reports an empirical analysis on the impact of similar task arrival in the platform, on both tasks' success level and workers' performance. Our study supports that 1- A higher number of arrival tasks with similarity level greater than 70% will negatively impact on task competition level, 2- A bigger pool of similar open and arrival tasks would lead to lower worker attraction and elasticity, and 3- Workers who register for tasks with lower similarity level are more reliable to make a valid submission and 4- arriving task to the pool of 60% similar task will provide the highest chance of receiving a valid submission.
