Standup 08/25/2009: Mechanical turk for data matching

David Stevenson
Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Interesting Things

  • One of our projects is using mechanical turk to match and normalize their ugly data. After building some automatic matching with little success, the group is simply using the template web interface. The task can be trivially decomposed into tiny tasks, and accuracy does not need to be 100% perfect, so it’s a great fit. They only spent a few hours and have results already!
