Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk make it possible to organize crowd workers to perform tasks like translation or image labelling on demand. Building these workflows is challenging: how much should you pay crowd workers? can you trust the output of each worker? how can you coordinate workers to perform complicated high-level tasks? Qurk helps you build crowd-powered data processing workflows using a PIG-like language while tackling these challenges on your behalf.
