Trust Games - Annotation Tasks
Trust Games I am looking for collaborators to help prepare a free educational online game suitable for secondary and collegiate classrooms focused on whether content is trustworthy or not. Please contact me if you want to be a part of this effort. It might operate something like the "Which Face is Real" application, but might be used instead for identifying and discussing untrustworthy accounts on Twitter as a gamified learning module for classes this fall. I have most of the pieces ready, but I am not an expert in games. I'd like to form an ad hoc team and have this operational for September and October of 2024. My goal is to offer an IRB-compliant game platform that generates usable research results and better informed student discussions in advance of the U.S. election in November. Annotation Tasks I have a new set of annotation tasks related to planning for the game development. I need motivated undergraduates willing to label batches of Tweets under conditions that test core features of gamification in labeling, starting with speed and accuracy. In addition to getting paid more for being the fastest/most accurate labelers, students will see some remarkable datasets that have historical significance. If you know Jr. or Sr. undergraduates in the US or Canada with a >3.9 GPA, tell them to send me a resume. Thanks AoIR! -- Dr. Stuart W.

Follow Up I am grateful to the list for generating excellent people willing to work on projects. Already we have a nice group forming with novel exchanges of ideas in every meeting. Collaboration like this is fun and hopefully the game, Trust Defender, will be as well. I do need more students, including some willing to label Twitter data as soon as today. I am testing a new approach to remunerating "micro" tasks that are limited to 5 minutes. I need to know the average speed, as well as the approximate best task size, and how fast the best human annotators can record reliable observations. I just did a small test and my rate was 1.45 seconds per item. For this initial "live-deleted-suspended" task, the key is a combined speed and accuracy score. If you make a keystroke error, you need to go back and fix it, which slows you down. If you let mistakes go unfixed, we will find them using measurement against a known gold standard during the initial rounds of training on this task. The base remuneration is $20 for completion of tasks that have a total of 40 minutes allotted (8 tasks) during a roughly 24 hour period. It is definitely possible to complete all of these current tasks with close to 100% accuracy in less than 40 minutes. I am planning to start with a requirement for labeling 60 items in five minutes (5 seconds per item) in the early rounds. Then we will test the effect of increasing the number of items to 75 and 100 in later rounds. I'm trying to work out a prize system for the fastest and most accurate annotators over time. We have recently enhanced our IRB compliance architecture for this work. AS previously, deleted and suspended Tweets are not visible and now all Tweet metadata are also hidden from annotators. Our datasets have, in some cases, more than 70% of the items suspended. In these cases, it can be fascinating (also shocking) and definitely educational to see what is still live on Twitter. One goal is to better understand how DiscoverText can be further modified to have default, ready-to-play games, as well as the traditional framework where it is simply a flexible tool, like a spreadsheet. Leaders of the games will create new tasks, codes, rules, parameters, code books, assignments, peer groups, and focus the students. Much of the content of the games can be created by the professors or teams of students. Our role now is creating archetypal game formats such as the deductive "live, deleted, suspended" or a key new hybrid deductive/inductive "trust, don't trust, need more info" game that has nothing to do with speed or accuracy. More fully inductive educational games such as "bot, troll, or citizen" are possible. Small adaptations to the existing crowdsource software will make the "labeling" task more game-like. Students will train or play on default games out-of-the-box that are easy to launch, but professors will also adapt the framework with very minor training to define parameters for their own games. I will be working with professors to design rubrics so that students can play very short games in the fall then use the experience as fodder for discussion. As a reminder: DiscoverText is 100% free for academic research and teaching. Anyone using DiscoverText to test or implement these annotation games can also pursue their own independent research agenda with other academics. We are creating a process that will streamline the onboarding of entire classes to enable "quick launch" games. There will be leaderboards and anonymization options. https://discovertext.com/mentions/ https://calendly.com/discovertext Stu On Thu, Jul 11, 2024 at 8:38 AM Shulman, Stu <stu@texifter.com> wrote:

I have a new set of annotation tasks related to planning for the game development.

In addition to getting paid more for being the fastest/most accurate labelers, students will see some remarkable datasets that have historical significance. If you know Jr. or Sr. undergraduates in the US or Canada with a >3.9 GPA, tell them to send me a resume.

Trust Games
I am looking for collaborators to help prepare a free educational online game suitable for secondary and collegiate classrooms focused on whether content is trustworthy or not. Please contact me if you want to be a part of this effort. It might operate something like the "Which Face is Real" application, but might be used instead for identifying and discussing untrustworthy accounts on Twitter as a gamified learning module for classes this fall. I have most of the pieces ready, but I am not an expert in games. I'd like to form an ad hoc team and have this operational for September and October of 2024. My goal is to offer an IRB-compliant game platform that generates usable research results and better informed student discussions in advance of the U.S. election in November.
Annotation Tasks
I have a new set of annotation tasks related to planning for the game development. I need motivated undergraduates willing to label batches of Tweets under conditions that test core features of gamification in labeling, starting with speed and accuracy. In addition to getting paid more for being the fastest/most accurate labelers, students will see some remarkable datasets that have historical significance. If you know Jr. or Sr. undergraduates in the US or Canada with a >3.9 GPA, tell them to send me a resume.
Thanks AoIR!
