On the Design of Strategic Task Recommendations for Sustainable Crowdsourcing-Based Content Moderation
Sainath Sanga, Venkata Sriram Siddhardh Nadendla

TL;DR
This paper introduces a strategic recommendation system for crowdsourcing content moderation that considers workers' mental health, modeling the interaction as a Bayesian Stackelberg game to optimize platform productivity and worker well-being.
Contribution
It proposes a novel game-theoretic framework that personalizes task recommendations based on worker mental status, addressing mental health impacts often overlooked in existing systems.
Findings
Model effectively incorporates worker mental health into recommendations.
Designs reward and cost mechanisms to balance productivity and well-being.
Framework guides platform to improve worker conditions while maintaining efficiency.
Abstract
Crowdsourcing-based content moderation is a platform that hosts content moderation tasks for crowd workers to review user submissions (e.g. text, images and videos) and make decisions regarding the admissibility of the posted content, along with a gamut of other tasks such as image labeling and speech-to-text conversion. In an attempt to reduce cognitive overload at the workers and improve system efficiency, these platforms offer personalized task recommendations according to the worker's preferences. However, the current state-of-the-art recommendation systems disregard the effects on worker's mental health, especially when they are repeatedly exposed to content moderation tasks with extreme content (e.g. violent images, hate-speech). In this paper, we propose a novel, strategic recommendation system for the crowdsourcing platform that recommends jobs based on worker's mental status.…
