Imbalanced volunteer engagement in cultural heritage crowdsourcing: a task-related exploration based on causal inference
作者：
Highlights：
• We examined the problem of imbalanced volunteer engagement (IVE) in cultural heritage crowdsourcing practices.
• We utilized a machine learning-based causal inference approach to investigate the IVE problem in the domain of digital humanities.
• We built a causal graph between task content characteristics and volunteer engagements.
• We suggested three propositions of the role of task characteristics in alleviating IVE.
