Lower the default value for runs per tasks #1

Closed finnp closed 11 years ago

finnp commented 11 years ago

I just noticed that every transcirption app on Pybossa requires 30 runs per image, probably because of the default value. This is in most cases way to high. I would suggest changing it to 5 or even lower. If somebody really thinks he needs more input, he can still set it higher.

Hi @finnp

You are right! Actually, the pdftranscribe is a demo application so we want to have a high value just to allow a lot of people to give it a try and to avoid re-creating the same tasks several times. This application is just a template, not a real project.

PyBossa provides a specific field to specify the number of answers that you want to receive. By default the number is 30, but this can be changed to whatever you like (i.e. the latest tweet classification application marks one task as completed only when 2 task runs have been submitted).

Check the documentation for further details.

Cheers,

Daniel

@teleyinex why not set to 1 and use breadth_first - that algorithm will keep providing tasks even when you've done the number of runs needed and for people re-using it there will be a lower gotcha factor ...

:+1: I'll change it
