About GIGwork

GIGwork is a crowdsourcing platform based on Pybossa, an open source crowdsourcing platform developed by Scifabric. GIGwork makes it easy to host, run, monitor and review/analyze quality for annotation projects. This makes it possible to quickly create new datasets with information that requires human cognition, knowledge, or intelligence to complete — such as text annotation, language translation, data collection/capture, and more!
