Start rolling in the dough! Amazon’s beta service mechanical turk is open for registration.
HIT stands for Human Intelligence Task. These are tasks that people are willing to pay you to complete. For example a HIT might ask: “Is there a pizza parlour in this photograph?” Typically these tasks are extraordinarily difficult for computers, but simple for humans to answer.
If you have a little free time on your hands, why not help Amazon create an accurate database of images for its A9 mapping service? Naturally, humans would be a little more reliable when it comes to identifying clear storefront images. Accept the Amazon HIT jobs and verify that the images do indeed portray what they claim to represent.
