Abstract
Crowdsourcing is a business model that relies on computer networks. It was first introduced in 2006 and more and more people began to participate in this business model. At present, how to improve the completion rate of crowdsourcing mode task, while reducing the cost of the publisher has became an urgent problem. Based on the nonstandard form, we implement experiments on the dataset given by CUMCM and propose a time sharing + dynamic pricing model to solve the problem of offline tasks in crowdsourcing. Experiment results show that the model task completion rate improved to 83.5%, 26.6% higher than the traditional mode, the average task publication costs 69 yuan, 4 yuan lower than the traditional. Finally, according to the experiment results, we make some reasonable suggestions to the future crowdsourcing platform design.
