Programming with human computation
… micro-task market, allowing a program to hire human workers. This has opened the door to a rich field of research in human computation where programs orchestrate the efforts of humans to help solve problems. This thesis explores challenges that programmers face in this space: both technical …

Peer consistency evaluation in human computation
… it can be used as a general evaluation method in human computation systems. We present experimental results that show that human computation systems using peer consistency evaluation can lead to outcomes that are even better than those that evaluate workers using gold standard answers. We also …

Optimization techniques for human computation-enabled data processing systems
… of 2012. While crowdsourcing enables forms of computation that artificial intelligence has not yet achieved, it also presents crowd workflow designers with a series of challenges including describing tasks, pricing tasks, identifying and rewarding worker quality, dealing with incorrect …

My4Sight: A Human Computation Platform for Improving Flu Predictions
While many human computation (human-in-the-loop) systems exist in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve problems that can't be solved by computers alone, comparatively fewer platforms exist for collecting human knowledge, and evaluation of various techniques for harnessing human …

Design problems in crowdsourcing: improving the quality of crowd-based data collection
… new opportunities to do so. Large-scale human contributions open the door to latent information, subjective judgments, and other encoding of data that is otherwise difficult to infer algorithmically. However, such contributions are also subject to variance from the inconsistencies of …

Crowd-supervised training of spoken language systems
… an alternative approach that makes use of human computation to provide crowd-supervised training for spoken language systems. We explore human-in-the-loop algorithms that leverage the collective intelligence of crowds of non-expert individuals to provide valuable training data at a very low …

WiSDM: a platform for crowd-sourced data acquisition, analytics, and synthetic data generation
Human behavior is a key factor influencing the spread of infectious diseases. Individuals adapt their daily routine and typical behavior during the course of an epidemic -- the adaptation is based on their perception of risk of contracting the disease and its impact. As a result, it is desirable to …
