Prepare and upload a TSV file with the results

Check out the example in a demo TSV file. You can find it on the pool page. At the top-left of the page, there are links to TSV files with regular, control, and training tasks.

  1. Prepare a TSV file with tasks.

    1. Leave the INPUT:image column unchanged.

    2. Change the OUTPUT:result column name to INPUT:selection.

    3. Rename the ASSIGNMENT:assignment_id column to INPUT:assignment_id.

    4. Delete the ACCEPT:verdict: and ACCEPT:comment: columns:

    5. Save the file in TSV format.

    Tip.

    You can prepare TSV file in the Notepad program. To transfer data to Microsoft Excel, use Text Import Wizard and disable the Text qualifier option.

  2. Upload the resulting TSV file to the Are the traffic signs outlined correctly? pool:

    1. Open the Are the traffic signs outlined correctly? pool.

    2. Click Upload. In the window that opens, configure the file upload settings.

    3. Choose Set manually.

    4. In the Tasks per page field, specify 10.

    5. Click Upload.

    6. In the window that opens, choose the TSV file with tasks to upload and click Open.

    7. In the window that opens, check the number of tasks and click Add.

    8. On the pool page, click Preview. Make sure that the task displays images with the selected objects.
      Tip.

      If there are no selected objects, check if the TSV file has quotation marks inserted correctly in the INPUT:selection column. Make sure that the interface parameters are set correctly.

  3. Click to start the pool.

    Attention.

    The tasks will be completed by real performers in Yandex.Toloka. Recheck your project setup before you start the pool.

Download the reviewed results

  1. Next to the Download results button, click .

  2. Choose Dawid-Skene aggregation model from the list. Read more about Result aggregation based on the Dawid-Skene model.

  3. In the window that opens, click Yes.

  4. At the top of the page, click View the list of operations.

    Note.

    To track the progress, refresh the page from time to time. Aggregation takes from 5 to 20 minutes. You can start designing another project meanwhile.

  5. When the operation is complete, download the TSV file with the results. To do this, click Download in the Files column.

  6. Use the TSV file with the results in project 2.

Check the completed tasks

Since the Non-automatic acceptance option is enabled in the pool settings for project 2, you should check the performers' responses within the time limit set in the Review period field.

You can check the results in two ways:

  • In the TSV file with the results.
  • In the pool interface.

  1. In the text or spreadsheet editor, open the TSV file that you received after aggregating the results.

    Tip. You can use the online spreadsheet editor. Go to Yandex. Disk linked to your customer account. Click Create → Spreadsheet. Copy the aggregated data from the TSV file to the table.

  2. Prepare the TSV file:

    1. Add a column named ACCEPT:verdict with the review results.

    2. Add a column named ACCEPT:comment with comments for performers if responses were rejected. For example, comment on which part of the instructions wasn't followed.

    3. Rename the INPUT:assignment_id column to ASSIGNMENT:assignment_id.

  3. Fill in the ACCEPT:verdict: and ACCEPT:comment: columns:

    • If the aggregate result of the assignment is OK, put + to accept it.
    • If the aggregate result of the assignment is incorrect or it doesn't open, put - to reject it. Enter the reason for rejecting the task in the ACCEPT:comment: field, for example, The object isn't selected or is selected incorrectly.
    Tip. You can use the awk commands to outline images on Linux and MacOS devices:
    awk 'BEGIN {FS=OFS="\t";} NR>1 {if($4~"OK"){ print $1, "+", ""; }else{ print $1, "-", "The object isn't selected or is selected incorrectly.";}}' <post_accept_res>.tsv > <review_res>.tsv

  4. Delete all the other columns.

  5. Save the file in TSV format.

  6. Open the pool page in project 2.

  7. Click Review assignments.

  8. Click Upload results.

  9. In the window that opens, choose the TSV file with the results to upload and click Open.

  10. In the window that opens, compare the number of tasks in the Processed successfully and Total submitted fields on the pool page.

  11. Click Add.

  12. In the window that opens, click Close.

  13. When setting up a pool in the second project you turned on the Recompletion of the rejected tasks option.

    In this case, the pool automatically reopens and the assignments are reassigned to other performers. When they're completed, send the results for review. Then download the results, check them, and upload the reviewed results. You can reject assignments as many times as you want to get more accurate results.
