Mechanical Turk Presented by Todd Carter of tocarte.com & Amazon
September 8th, 2010
Please join us for Mechanical Turk Presentation by & Todd Carter of tocarte.com and John Hoskin of Amazon Mechanical Turk
They plan to introduce the platform, talk about how it works, and maybe an example or two about how folks are using it. Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is crowd sourcing – leveraging a crowd for human tasks – programmatically. Imagine your business process involves stop gaps and breaks due to conflicts and missing information – that cannot be resolved in an algorithm. That often requires human intervention – here enters Mechanical Turk. Imagine being able to call a human through an API – and receive back the result – again through an API.
