Extracted Abstract:
Recent years witnessed an explosion in the number and vari- ety of data crowdsourcing initiatives. From OpenStreetMap to Amazon Mechanical Turk, developers and practitioners have been striving to create user interfaces able to effec- tively and efficiently support the creation, exploration, and analysis of crowdsourced information. The extensive usage of crowdsourcing techniques brings a major change of paradigm with respect to traditional user interface for data collection and exploration, as effectiveness, speed, and interaction quality concerns play a central role in supporting very demanding incentives, including monetary ones. The First International Workshop on User Interfaces for Crowdsourcing and Human Computation (CrowdUI 2014), co-located with the AVI 2014 conference, brought together researchers and practitioners from a wide range of areas in- terested in discussing the user interaction challenges posed by crowdsourcing systems.
