Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing platform widely used in research to collect human annotations for various tasks, from data labeling and recipe revision to evaluating AI models and conducting user studies. Current research focuses on improving data quality and worker experience on MTurk, including exploring methods to mitigate the impact of large language models (LLMs) used by workers and developing better interfaces and payment structures. This platform's significance lies in its ability to provide large-scale, cost-effective human-in-the-loop data for training and evaluating AI systems across diverse domains, ultimately advancing the development and understanding of artificial intelligence.
