Automatic prediction of aspects of human task performance

Abstract

Techniques are described for automatically facilitating the performance of tasks based on automatically generating predictions about future task performance, and then using the generated task performance prediction information in various ways. For example, as tasks are performed via a task exchange server system, various information about the tasks and their performance may be tracked, and the tracked information may then be analyzed to identify relationships between various of the information related to the tasks and to corresponding information about the performance of the tasks. Based on the identified relationship information, the task exchange server may automatically generate predictions regarding how performance of additional tasks will occur in the future, such as by determining task performance information that corresponds to information available about the additional tasks. The automatically generated task performance prediction information may then be used to facilitate performance of tasks in various manners.
