Spoiler: Just hitting ThisPoorGuy with the double pun post title

QualifEye? What is this? Why do you love puns?

The long & short of it is that you can now use TurkerView itself to alert you to brand new qualification tests & potential qualification hits on MTurk. You don't need to be logged into MTurk, and this will not use any of your valuable page requests to do it's work.

This allows you to focus on the work actually available to you, while opening up new opportunities during down time and eliminating wasted time & focus. You can actually utilize the "qualified only" options available in most scrapers to filter out the massive amount of junk that you will never be able to do. That is one of the few filters that applies directly to MTurk which actually increases the coverage of HITs your scraper will actually get to scrape & see.

This will also hopefully help good requesters get their work done. In many cases requesters who go through the trouble of setting up qual tests just have their HITs languish in the void because of how difficult it is to find & complete them. So we're looking to bring good workers together with those kinds of HITs & make it easier for both parties.

I think the name is funny, I'll change it some time in the future I'm sure since it's objectively pretty dumb lol. QualiFyre, maybe? ..wait I just typed that out and it sounds amazing.. "qualifier" => qualifyre.. who is coming to the festival? :emoji_joy: Sorry y'all, you know I get delirious near feature launches by now!

Current Features:

• Tracking & auto updating of qualification tests on MTurk
• Tracking & auto updating of HITs that are likely qualification, qualifiers, demographic, or pre-qualifiers for batches/surveys
• Tab alerts
• Live desktop push notifications

How good is it?
You'll have to let me know :) I've found a potential ~$40 off of it the last 2 days but in fairness I was lazy working and only cherry picking the two batches & a random survey which are HITs you may have noticed on your scraper anyway. But this should definitely make it easier!

Qual Tests

QualifEye has a few thousand qualification tests indexed already (though for the moment it will only display the last few days worth), and it picks up new ones to the platform (or old ones making a return to being used) automatically.

In the last day of testing both of these HIT groups came about from me using QualifEye (the first had 100 available, the other 300, and both sat around for hours):

Spoiler: Reviews for HITs found w/ QualifEye

They added up to $44 worth of HITs I didn't see on scraper but did pick up the qual test & did the batches from off QualifEye and I only caught them while testing/building it, not actively using the tool. Of course YMMV, but I think QualifEye can potentially add a lot of value to your workflow & am excited to see how it's utilized!

Qual HITs

In the past few days it picked up GeoHives, Cloud Labor, & a Unanimous AI qual along with dozens of other small screening/demographic surveys. I'll be improving it based on feedback from this pilot run over the weekend, of course, but it's already pretty good at what it does.

Is this free?
It's free until March 1st, but after that it will be included with the normal API subscription package (if you already have a subscription/unlocked key then yes this is included in that w/o any price changes :) ). This is just one of the tools I'll be adding to add value to TV for its userbase but hopefully it gives some insight into the direction TV is headed.

As with all things I expect some bugs & glitches that I'll need to work out over the weekend, but I'd like folks to be able to get a feel for it & if it has actual value to them so the plan is to knock out any user/browser specific bugs by Monday :)

If you've got questions, comments, feedback, & the normal gauntlet of words I use here to ask for your opinions as always just throw 'em at me. I need a nap so will be back around in the morning.

Where Is It!?
You can access it directly through this link: https://turkerview.com/qualifeye/

QualifEye Link

It'll be added to the main navigation bar later on today :)

Aaaand as always thank you to everyone who gave suggestions & helped me test things out! :emoji_heart_eyes:

 

Help I'm being repressed.

The evil admin closed the thread when I was going to make a joke :(

 

Moment of silence for all the good qual test batches.

I posted this 2 days ago for you to look at >.> lol

 

We never said it it wouldn't be a useful tool but it may be too useful.

 

People were being too much "omg I love it" for me to give adequate feedback, plus you wouldn't have listened anyway.
