亚伦·科布林 ( Aaron Koblin ) 的两部作品让我印象深刻：

  • 绵羊市场- 工人得到报酬画朝左的绵羊的图画。
  • 一万美分- 工人被支付复制较大图像的一小部分。

With some colleagues I've been running a lot of behavioral experiments on Mturk exploring altruism and cooperation. Even though Mturk is the ultimate in anonymous and profit-minded settings, we still find high levels of people paying costs to help others.

For a writeup, check out this paper: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1591202

The Online Laboratory: Conducting Experiments in a Real Labor Market

John J. Horton, David G. Rand, Richard J. Zeckhauser

Harvard University

Abstract:
Online labor markets have great potential as platforms for conducting experiments, as they provide immediate access to a large and diverse subject pool and allow researchers to conduct randomized controlled trials. We argue that online experiments can be just as valid – both internally and externally – as laboratory and field experiments, while requiring far less money and time to design and to conduct. In this paper, we first describe the benefits of conducting experiments in online labor markets; we then use one such market to replicate three classic experiments and confirm their results. We confirm that subjects (1) reverse decisions in response to how a decision-problem is framed, (2) have pro-social preferences (value payoffs to others positively), and (3) respond to priming by altering their choices. We also conduct a labor supply field experiment in which we confirm that workers have upward sloping labor supply curves. In addition to reporting these results, we discuss the unique threats to validity in an online setting and propose methods for coping with these threats. We also discuss the external validity of results from online domains and explain why online results can have external validity equal to or even better than that of traditional methods, depending on the research question. We conclude with our views on the potential role that online experiments can play within the social sciences, and then recommend software development priorities and best practices.

我还没有用它做任何事情，但我一直想通过一个应用程序来使用它进行音乐搜索，该应用程序可以接受人们哼唱或唱歌的录音，然后使用土耳其人来识别曲调。

我最喜欢的 Mechanical Turk 实例是工人必须从科学文献中的图形和表格中提取数据。这里有一个很好的实验描述和视频：

Halosys：我们在开发的一些客户项目中使用了 Mechanical Turk。

这是我们在客户准备推出但需要数据时向他们建议的事情之一。特别有趣的是一些项目，比如填写一些漫画的内容，然后在客户网站上展示。

我在它之上创建了一个网站可用性测试服务——EasyUsability.com，以及一个使用它的口音培训和评级服务——AccentTraining.net
