Methods and systems for crowdsourcing a task
View Patent ↗The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for crowdsourcing a task. The method includes extracting one or more components from at least one task based on a task category associated with the at least one task. Each component corresponds to a part of the at least one task, that requires an input from a crowdworker. Further, the one or more components are categorized in a set of first categories, each of which includes similar components, and a second category that includes dissimilar components. The categorization is based on a comparison between content of each of component, and the task category. Thereafter, a representative component from at least one category from the set of first categories, and at least one component from the second category are combined to create the task. The task, so created, is crowdsourced to one or more crowdworkers.
1. A method for digitizing a document, the method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors, one or more portions comprising at least a handwritten text, from an electronic document, wherein the electronic document is generated by scanning the document;
comparing, by the one or more processors, each portion of the one or more portions with remaining portions of the one or more portions to identify similar portions, and/or dissimilar portions, wherein the similar portions include at least the same handwritten text;
categorizing, by the one or more processors, the one or more portions in a set of first categories and a second category, wherein each category in the set of first categories includes the similar portions, and wherein the second category includes the dissimilar portions; and
combining, by the one or more processors, a representative portion from at least one category from the set of first categories, and at least one portion from the second category to create a task, wherein the task is crowdsourced to one or more crowdworkers for identification of the handwritten text in the electronic document.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising validating, by the one or more processors, a response received from the crowdworker on the task.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein validating further comprises determining, by the one or more processors, whether the response includes the input for the representative portion.
4. The method of claim 3 further comprising determining, by the one or more processors, a count of portions, corresponding to the representative portion, in the at least one category, based on the determination whether the response includes the input for the representative portion.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the crowdworker receives a bonus remuneration based on the validation of the response and the count of the portions in the at least one category.
