Thierry Alain Bücheler, Rocky Lonigro, Rudolf Marcel Füchslin, Rolf Pfeifer, Modeling and Simulating Crowdsourcing as a Complex Biological System: Human Crowds Manifesting Collective Intelligence on the Internet, In: ECAL 2011. The Eleventh European Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems, MIT Press, Boston, Mass., 2011. (Conference or Workshop Paper published in Proceedings) Crowdsourcing, a real-life instance of human collective intelligence, is a phenomenon that changes the way organizations use the Internet to collect ideas, solve complex cognitive problems, and build high-quality repositories (e.g., Wikipedia) by self-organizing agents around data and knowledge. Many recent studies have highlighted the factors and the small sets of parameters that play a role when a large crowd interacts with an organization. However, no comprehensive simulation has yet been developed to incorporate all these parameters, investigate Artificial Life phenomena such as emergence and self-organization and potentially generate predictive power. Based on a presentation at ALIFE XII, this paper describes the development of a simulator for human crowds performing collective problem solving in a Crowdsourcing scenario. It introduces the mechanics of a multi-agent system (MAS) by building on insights from empirical science in several disciplines. The simulator allows running sensitivity analyses of multiple parameters as well as simulation of intractable interactions of complex networks of irrational agents. In addition, the paper provides a review of Crowdsourcing and human collective intelligence literature structured from an Alife point-of-view.
Jens Witkowski, Sven Seuken, David C. Parkes, Incentive-Compatible Escrow Mechanisms, In: Proceedings of the 25th Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), San Francisco, CA, 2011. (Conference or Workshop Paper published in Proceedings) The most prominent way to establish trust between buyers and sellers on online auction sites are reputation mechanisms. Two drawbacks of this approach are the reliance on the seller being long-lived and the susceptibility to whitewashing. In this paper, we introduce so-called escrow mechanisms that avoid these problems by installing a trusted intermediary which forwards the payment to the seller only if the buyer acknowledges that the good arrived in the promised condition. We address the incentive issues that arise and design an escrow mechanism that is incentive compatible, efficient, interim individually rational and ex ante budget-balanced. In contrast to previous work on trust and reputation, our approach does not rely on knowing the sellers' cost functions or the distribution of buyer valuations.
