问题 In the Amazon Mechanical Turk command line tools (I am using version: aws-mturk-clt-1.3.0), in one of the samples (site_filter_qual: "Website Filtering Qualification", file site_filter_qual.question), there is code that looks something like this: #set( $urls = [ "http://news.bbc.co.uk/", http://..., ...]) #foreach ( $url in $urls ) ... I am wondering : a) What is the language used here (it's not Perl and not PHP, right?); b) Where (on Amazon site or elsewhere) I could read about these

问题 I m trying to setup a few image categorization tasks on Mechanical Turk sandbox developer version. When I try to view the HIT(the annotation image), it appears blank. I clicked on the 'Accept HIT' button but I still couldn't see anything. In order to make sure that nothing was wrong with my project setup in particular, I signed in as a worker to accept HITS on other projects involving image categorization. I still continue to see a blank image in their categorization projects, where the image

问题 I am creating hits at mTurk through Rspec test code but at the same time i need to test the results which must be send back from mTurk. In order to save complexity testing for every test i'm using VCR to record the HTTP Requests in a cassette. How can i implement this test?? 回答1: well i did some hack for that, i used debugger to hold my rspec test until results comes back from mTurk and then it get stored in VCR. so i have to do this kinda hack once and then after that VCR works for me 来源：

问题 I'm using the Python AWS package boto v2.7 to interact with the Mturk API to create and manage HIT's etc. I'm getting stuck when trying to create a HIT using an existing template. Amazon's documentation on the topic is here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/2012-03-25/AWSMturkAPI/ApiReference_CreateHITOperation.html My code is: from boto.mturk.connection import MTurkConnection mtc = MTurkConnection(aws_access_key_id=ACCESS_ID, aws_secret_access_key=SECRET_KEY, host=HOST) mtc.create_hit

问题 I am implementing a website on which the recruited MTurk workers will perform tasks. I plan to recruit workers using MTurk tasks, using which I will redirect them to an external website for actual work. I have the following questions relating to this plan. Is there any foreseeable problems with this approach of running HITs? If so, how can we mitigate them? how should I implement the authentication procedure on my external site? For example, how can I make sure the people who come to the

问题 I have a mturk survey and would like to validate the results when clicking the submit button. I found out there is one way discussed here. However, that does not seem to work. Does anyone have any idea? My code (JS part): <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function() {document.getElementById('submitButton').setAttribute('onclick', 'return validateForm()'); } function validateForm() { alert("test"); return false; } There is no alert and the submission succeeded. 回答1: With the new

问题 does anybody know of any tutorials/resources that discuss integrating Amazon's Mechanical Turk and Rails? (besides those resources that Amazon already provides) Thanks! 回答1: I've updated RTurk and continued development, it should work for most jobs. Here's a little tutorial I wrote up on it - http://squarepush.com/ps/2009/08/11/mechanical-turk-in-ruby/ I'll be doing a more rails specific one in the next few days. 回答2: You can take a look at my gem Turkee. Built on top of RTurk, should help

问题 We have a web-based game for two players, which we offer via Amazon Mechanical Turk. For each game we need two players that will enter simultaneously, or at most 1 minute apart. We noticed that at the first few minutes after we publish the HIT, we get many workers, because the HIT is on the first page of their search results, but later the rate drops as the game moves to a previous page. So, in order to get enough simultaneous workers, we had to remove the HIT, and open a new HIT. Is it

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
