AI model predicts gig worker utility using hysteresis

Researchers have developed a novel Preisach hysteresis model to better understand worker acceptance in gig labor markets. This model, implemented using a dual-output neural network and an XGBoost classifier, analyzes transaction data to predict worker utility. The system achieved a Jaccard index of 0.827 and an ROC AUC of 0.799 on a dataset of 36,891 gig transactions. The model's findings indicate that price decreases have a more significant negative impact on completion rates than equivalent increases have positive impacts, leading to recommendations that could reduce wage bills by over 21% while increasing fill rates.

    Worker Utility as Hysteresis: A Preisach Model of Transaction Acceptance in Gig Labour Markets

    Worker utility is not observed -- only its consequence is. Each gig transaction produces a single bit: accepted or rejected. We argue this structure points directly to the Preisach hysteresis model as the natural representation of latent worker preferences. The Preisach operator …
