The ESP game belongs to the genre called Games With A Purpose (GWAP), which leverage people’s desire to be entertained and also outsource certain steps of the computational process to humans. The games have shown promise in solving a variety of problems, which computer computation has been unable to resolve completely thus far. In this study, we consider generalized ESP games with two objectives....
"Human computation" represents a new paradigm of applications that take advantage of people's desire to be entertained and produce useful metadata as a by-product. By creating games with a purpose, human computation has shown promise in solving a variety of problems that computer computation cannot currently resolve completely. Using the ESP game as an example, we propose a metric, called...
In this paper, we propose an analytical model for computing the utility of ESP games, i.e., the throughput rate of appropriate labels for given puzzles. The model targets generalized games, where the number of players, the consensus threshold, and the stopping condition are variable. Via extensive simulations, we show that our model can accurately predict the stopping condition that will yield the...
