Using Amazon MechanicalTurk if location != US?

丶灬走出姿态 提交于 2019-12-20 11:50:03
问题 Amazon Mechanical Turk is a mass-micro outsourcing API, where you can get lots's of small simple tasks (e.g."Is there a shop in this image") done relatively cheaply (e.g. 0.10 U$ per image). Amazon seems to assume that this service is mostly of interest to US companies. This results in difficulties if you want to use the service (as an "Requester"): for example there is no easy way of funding your Account without an US Bank account. Can somebody share experiences of using the Service from

MTurk HITs created Through Java API are not showing on Manage Tab on UI

问题 I am creating HITs on MTurk Sandbox using JAVA API. I am able to create HITs and also work on it by searching through worker UI. But those hits are not showing up in the "Manage" tab of the requester UI. 回答1: So as to interact with my own MTurk tasks I have developed a rudimentary management console to monitor, review, manage, and download data from API-launched tasks. The management console is entirely JavaScript based and runs locally in your web browser. It replicates most of the basic

Creating mTurk HIT from Layout with parameters using boto and python

不羁岁月 提交于 2019-12-13 13:11:14
问题 I am attempting to utilize boto to generate a HIT in mechanical turk. The goal is to use a common layout that is already generated on my mTurk account, and pass it urls of images to iteratively create HITs. The issue is that even with correctly naming the parameter if for the image urls boto is not successful. My example code to create the hit is: from boto.mturk.connection import MTurkConnection from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection from boto.mturk.layoutparam import LayoutParameter

问题 I'm writing my own HIT template for mTurk with HTML / JavaScript (editing the source section). MTurk's format for workers' response is an excel file with various parameters (such as assignment ID , worker ID , etc.). I'm having trouble finding out how do modify this returned excel file, in order to include my own custom parameters in it. To simplify, my code is: <html> <script type="text/javascript"> //many functions var myObject = {}; //event listeners add attributes to myObject </script> <

How can I create a signature for AWS in Javascript?

痴心易碎 提交于 2019-12-11 01:52:06

In Mechanical Turk, how do you limit to one HIT per worker

旧城冷巷雨未停 提交于 2019-12-09 08:23:28
问题 I know from communication with Mechanical Turk workers that there is a way to limit the number of HITs a specific worker can complete, but I cant figure out how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 回答1: I've developed a script that mostly solves this problem. The main idea is to check the worker ID against a database and then hide the HIT if the worker has already completed a related HIT. So that you don't need to host your own database server, I've made my script available as a

问题 I have managed to create a HIT with an external question that calls an html file hosted in an S3 server. I have worked in the sandbox environment.

To try this HIT again, click "HITs Assigned To You" in the navigation bar, then click "Continue work on this HIT" for the HIT. If this problem persists, you can
