• Abstraction and Languages for Crowdsourcing: Crowd4U can run codes written in CyLog, a Datalog-like language designed for describing cybernetic intelligence. CyLog allows concise descriptions. For example, the code for the tweet annotation project has only two rules (we also have schema definition and task template in HTML template):
  HealthRelated(tid, result)/open[_all] <- Tweet(tid, text);
!Task1(_open_fact_id, tid, text) <- ?HealthRelated(_fact_id:_open_fact_id, tid ), Tweet(tid, text);
• Complex Crowdsourcing that Combines Diffirent Kinds of Tasks to Achieve a Big Goal (e.g., dynamic translation of sentences in other set of tasks, and cooperative tasks that use the results of other tasks).
• Effective Ordering of Tasks in the Task Assignment Process
• Worker Recruitment Strategies and Incentive Structures: Crowd4U adopts many worker recruitment strategies and incentive structures, including the task-on-the-floor system and the lock screen application for android smartphones.
  
• Data Quality
• Worker Selection
• Rapid Development
