Mob Data Sourcing

摘要

Crowdsourcing is an emerging paradigm that harnesses a mass of users to perform various types of tasks. We focus in this tutorial on a particular form of crowdsourcing, namely crowd (or mob) datasourcing whose goal is to obtain, aggregate or process data. We overview crowd datasourcing solutions in various contexts, explain the need for a principled solution, describe advances towards achieving such a solution, and highlight remaining gaps.
