Title: Incentives for Collective Behavior: Badges, Procrastination, and
Long-Range Goals
Abstract:
Many systems involve the allocation of rewards for achievements, and
these rewards produce a set of incentives that in turn guide behavior.
Such effects are visible in many domains from everyday life, and they
are increasingly forming a designed aspect of participatory on-line
sites through the use of badges and other reward systems. We consider
several aspects of the interaction between rewards and incentives in
the context of collective effort, including a method for reasoning
about on-line user activity in the presence of badges, and a
graph-theoretic framework for analyzing procrastination and other
forms of behavior that are inconsistent over time.
The talk will be based on joint work with Ashton Anderson, Dan
Huttenlocher, Jure Leskovec, and Sigal Oren.
