Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
With the widespread adoption of mobile internet and GPS-enabled smartphones, spatial crowdsourcing has emerged as a prevalent computing paradigm. In this paradigm, the human-machine collaborative task assignment mode, which empowers workers to select tasks based on their preferences, has become a preferred approach for various applications such as ridesharing and takeaways. Generally, the platform continuously presents a set of top-$k$ tasks to individual workers by taking into account factors like travel distance, and allows workers to select tasks from this set. This decision approach is beneficial to both platform and workers. However, it still faces significant challenges in large-scale dynamic results maintenance, which incurs considerable computational costs. In this paper, we propose a novel solution framework with an adaptive two-layer cache structure to efficiently address the problem of updating dynamic top-$k$ results. Additionally, we propose two effective learning-based methods which greatly improve the efficiency of result maintenance. Furthermore, we present a novel approach to identify and process caches that trigger intensive updates within a tight time limit, greatly reducing the peak demand for updating caches. Finally, extensive experimental results on real datasets demonstrate that our proposed algorithms exhibit strong performance across various parameter configurations.
