Toloka documentation

Rejected tasks

Overview

You can block access to tasks for Tolokers whose responses were rejected by the requester during non-automatic acceptance. To do this, set key values in the quality_control.configs array in the pool settings.

Request body

Access to tasks is blocked if 40% of the tasks completed were rejected by the requester. This condition is checked for the first time after 10 tasks have been completed.

You can ban a Toloker from your project for a given number of days, hours, minutes (at a time or in total) or permanently.

Ban for 10 days

Parameter

Overview

configs[]

array of objects | required

Array of quality control settings.

configs.collector_config

object | required

Parameters for collecting statistics (for example, the number of tasks skipped in the pool).

configs.collector_config.type

string | required

Criteria for the quality control rule:

  • GOLDEN_SET — The number of correct and incorrect responses in the control tasks.
  • MAJORITY_VOTE — The percentage of responses that matched the majority vote.
  • CAPTCHA — The number of captchas entered successfully and unsuccessfully.
  • INCOME — Payment for tasks completed by the Toloker over the past 24 hours.
  • SKIPPED_IN_ROW_ASSIGNMENTS — The number of task suites skipped in a row.
  • ANSWER_COUNT — The number of task suites completed by the Toloker in the pool.
  • ASSIGNMENT_SUBMIT_TIME — The number of "fast" responses (the minimum response speed is set in the parameters).
  • ACCEPTANCE_RATE — The percentage of Toloker responses that were rejected during non-automatic acceptance.
  • ASSIGNMENTS_ASSESSMENT — The number of assignments accepted or rejected with non-automatic acceptance enabled.
  • USERS_ASSESSMENT — The Toloker's skill value and their bans.

configs.rules.conditions

object | required

Conditions (for example, 10 task suites skipped in a row). Multiple conditions are combined with the "OR" operator.

configs.rules.conditions.key

string | required

Values that are checked in the condition:

  • total_assignments_count — The number of tasks in the pool that the Toloker completed.
  • accepted_assignments_rate — The percentage of pool tasks performed by the Toloker and accepted with non-automatic acceptance.
  • rejected_assignments_rate — The percentage of pool tasks performed by the Toloker that were rejected during non-automatic acceptance.

configs.rules.conditions. operator

string | required

Comparison operator (the key data is compared with the threshold value from value):

  • EQ ("Equal") — Equal to.
  • NE ("Not equal to") — Not equal to.
  • GT ("Greater than") — Greater than.
  • LT ("Less than") — Less than.
  • GTE ("Greater than equal to") — Greater than or equal to.
  • LTE ("Less than equal to") — Less than or equal to.

configs.rules.conditions. value

integer | required

The threshold value of the variable specified in key.

configs.rules.action

object | required

The action to perform if conditions are met (for example, block access to the project).

configs.rules.action.type

string | required

Type of action:

  • RESTRICTION — Ban access to projects or pools.

  • SET_SKILL_FROM_OUTPUT_FIELD — Set the "percentage of correct responses" as the skill value (used in control tasks and majority vote rules).

    You can use the skill value for filtering Tolokers.

  • CHANGE_OVERLAP — Change the overlap. For example, to re-assign a task suite to other Tolokers or cancel the recompletion of already accepted assignments.

  • REJECT_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS — Reject all Toloker responses. For example, after a certain number of Toloker responses, it became clear that the Toloker completed tasks poorly.

  • APPROVE_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS — Accept all Toloker responses. For example, if the Toloker completes most tasks well and you are satisfied with this result.

  • SET_SKILL — Assign the specified constant value to the skill.

configs.rules.action. parameters

object | required

Action parameters.

configs.rules.action. parameters.scope

string | required

Scope:

  • POOL — pool. Affects the Toloker's rating.
  • PROJECT — The project. Affects the Toloker's rating.
  • ALL_PROJECTS — All the requester's projects.

configs.rules.action. parameters.skill_id

string | required if

Required if type=SET_SKILL_FROM_OUTPUT_FIELD.

ID of the skill to update as tasks are completed.

string | required if

Required if type=SET_SKILL_FROM_OUTPUT_FIELD.

The value determines the amount to change the overlap by.

configs.rules.action. parameters.public_comment

string | required if

Required if type=REJECT_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS.

Comments (the reason for rejecting responses). Available to the requester and the Toloker.

configs.collector_config. parameters

object | required if

Required if configs.collector_config.type=``GOLDEN_SET, MAJORITY_VOTE, CAPTCHA, ASSIGNMENT_SUBMIT_TIME.
