Abstract

See full text

There are disclosed systems, methods and tools for collecting opinions from group collaborations. In an embodiment, each participant may be asked to answer a small subset of questions, where each subset of questions presented to a participant may be different from a subset of questions posed to another participant. Data processing system implemented methods, systems and tools may be used to prepare each subset of questions to be asked, based on which questions require a larger sample of opinions, and to aggregate the subsets of opinions to infer an aggregate opinion for the group. This may significantly reduce or eliminate the need to subject a participant to the onerous task of expressing an opinion on each one of a large number of questions that may be collected in a group collaboration.
