Task Randomisation Has Problems #94

Closed gardners closed 12 years ago

In both 'Guess my age' and 'Melanoma' some pictures repeated directly after, which gives the sense of you having done something wrong. In 'Melanoma' I never got another picture.

Task selection probably requires some naunced behaviour to keep user interest maximised, and preventing repeated tasks is probably a significant part of this.

Hi,

For the moment PyBossa picks just a random tasks, and there are chances that you will get the same repeated. We will fix this soon, as I've several ideas about how we should deal with this scheduler. Once we implement it, I'll let you know it.

Thanks a lot for your feedback @gardners
