Data Quality Concerns when Crowdsourcing Scientific TasksStephanie Eckman
From classifying images or texts to responding to surveys, tapping into the knowledge of crowds to complete complex tasks has become a common strategy in social and information sciences. Although the timeliness and cost-effectiveness of crowdsourcing may provide desirable advantages to researchers, the data it generates may be of lower quality for some scientific purposes. The quality control mechanisms, if any, offered by common crowdsourcing platforms may not provide robust measures of data quality. This study explores whether research task participants may engage in motivated misreporting whereby participants tend to cut corners to reduce their workload while performing various scientific tasks online. We conducted an experiment with three common crowdsourcing tasks: answering surveys, coding images, and classifying online social media content. The experiment recruited workers from three sources: a crowdsourcing platform for crowd workers, a commercial survey panel provider for online panelists, and a research volunteering website for citizen scientists. The analysis seeks to address the following two questions: (1) whether online panelists, crowd workers or volunteers may engage in motivated misreporting differently and (2) whether the patterns of misreporting vary by different task types. We further seek to examine potential correlation between the patterns of motivated misreporting and the data quality of complex scientific research tasks. The study closes with suggestions of quality assurance practices of incorporating collective intelligence to improve the system for massive online information analysis in social science research.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

Title slide with playing cards
How can you sort these cards?
Color.
Number non-number.
Suit.
High value. Low value.
Blackjack
Runs by number
Runs by order
Whole deck of card
Each card
Sorting the cards gets us to cluster. Similar/Dissimilar. Parsimony. Actionable
Supervised – we need a teacher or analysis to make decisions about the model. Train the data.
Regression – predict value of a house or price willing to pay
Classification – is this email spam or not
I am simplifying here.
Unsupervised – algorithm makes the decision
Association – people who buy X also buy Y. Basket analysis
Clustering – grouping items, observations, people based on variables.
Other forms besides clustering such as preference or perceptual maps and factor analysis

Four types of clustering. Most stats oriented packages include hierarchical and non hierarchical.
Hierarchical – do not know how many groups.
K-Means – need to specify number of groups to start. Performs better with large datasets
Select the number of variables. Consider what is important to your customer profile.
Specify the desired number of clusters K : Let us choose k=2 for these 5 data points in 2-D space.
Randomly assign each data point to a cluster : Let’s assign three points in cluster 1 shown using green color and two points in cluster 2 shown using grey color.
Compute cluster centroids : The centroid of data points in the green cluster is shown using green cross and those in grey cluster using grey cross.
Re-assign each point to the closest cluster centroid : Note that only the data point at the bottom is assigned to the red cluster even though its closer to the centroid of grey cluster. Thus, we assign that data point into grey cluster
Re-compute cluster centroids : Now, re-computing the centroids for both the clusters.

As I add more clusters, I am getting more homogenous groups.
When I have decided on a solution, I can link the cluster results to regression or other supervised learning by converting the cluster results to dummy results.
