Table 5.1: Examples of human computation projects in social research.
Human computation projects take a big problem;
Now I can also highlight twoimportant differences between open call projects and human computation projects.
Human computation enables you to have a thousand research assistants.
What these“games with a purpose” have in commonis that they try to make the tasks involved in human computation enjoyable.
Create a human computation project to see if the ratio of women to men on the cover has increased over time.
It is these easy-for-peopleyet hard-for-computers microtasks that we can turn over to human computation projects.
Second generation human computation systems also use machine learning in order to amplify the human effort.

The prototypical example of a human computation project is Galaxy Zoo, which I will describe in detail below.
By this definition FoldIt- which I described in the section on open calls-could be considered a human computation project.
Computer-assisted human computation systems also use machine learning in order to amplify the human effort.
In order to further build your intuition,table 5.1 provides additional examples of how human computation has been used in social research.
Human computation projects take a big problem, break it into simple pieces, send them to many workers, and then aggregate the results.
This comparison shows that, as with Galaxy Zoo, human computation projects can produce high quality results.
Large scale problems that involve tasks that are hard for computers andeasy for humans are well-suited for human computation.
However, Benoit and colleagues were able to use their human computation system to do this coding- customized to their research question- quickly and easily.
Kenneth Benoit and colleagues(2016) decided to take the manifesto coding task that had previously been performed by experts andturn it into a human computation project.
Coding political manifestos, something typically done by experts,can be performed by a human computation project resulting in greater reproducibility and flexibility.
Kenneth Benoit and colleagues(2015) decided to take the manifesto coding task that had previously been performed by experts andturn it into a human computation project.
Human computation projects combine the efforts of many people working on simple microtasks in order to solve problems that are impossibly big for one person.
This table shows that, unlike Galaxy Zoo, many other human computation projects use micro-task labor markets(e.g., Amazon Mechanical Turk).
In human computation and distributed data collection projects, on the other hand, the best form of quality control comes through redundancy, not a high bar for participation.
First, one way that I distinguish between human computation and open call projects is whether the output is an average of all the solutions(human computation) or the best solution(open call).
In human computation projects, researchers combine the efforts of many people working on simple microtasks in order to solve problems that are impossibly big for one person.
Because very similar challenges arise in most human computation projects, it is helpful to briefly review the three steps that the Galaxy Zoo researchers used to produce their consensus classifications.

Also, social networks and human computation have brought new applications to natural language processing(NLP), mobile computing, multimedia, data mining and human-centered computing.
