Human computation(Section 5.2).
(2010) turned Galaxy Zoo into what I would call a second-generation human computation system.
Human computation projects take a big problem;
Finally, the examples in this section show that human computation can have a democratizing impact on science.
Human computation projects combine the work of many non-experts to solve easy-task-big-scale problems.
Now I can also highlight two important differences between open call projects and human computation projects.
Create a human computation project to see if the ratio of women to men on the cover has increased over time.
If this approach does not scale well,the researcher can move to a human computation project with many participants.

In addition to creating human computation and open calls, researchers can also create a distributed data collection project.
What these“games with a purpose” have in common is that they try to make the tasks involved in human computation enjoyable.
In addition to creating human computation and open call projects, researchers can also create distributed data collection projects.
When problems have not yet been formalised,they can still be characterised by a model of computation that includes human computation.
In the human computation problems described in the previous section, the researchers knew how to solve the problems given sufficient time.
To make this a bit more concrete,let's return to Galaxy Zoo, the human computation astronomy project discussed earlier in this chapter.
Human computation projects are ideally suited for easy-task-big-scale problems such as labeling a million images.
If this approach does not scale well,the researcher can move to a human computation project where many people contribute classifications.
In other words, human computation enabled them to generate coding of political texts that agreed with expert evaluations and was reproducible.
Coding political manifestos, something typically done by experts,can be performed by a human computation project resulting in greater reproducibility and flexibility.
A classic example of a human computation project is Galaxy Zoo, where a hundred thousand volunteers helped astronomers classify a million galaxies.
Kenneth Benoit and colleagues(2015)decided to take the manifesto coding task that had previously been performed by experts and turn it into a human computation project.
Second, by some definitions of human computation(e.g., Von Ahn(2005)), FoldIt should be considered a human computation project.
First, in open call projects the researcher specifies a goal(e.g., predicting movie ratings) whereas in human computation the research specifies a micro-task(e.g., classifying a galaxy).
In human computation projects, such as Galaxy Zoo, where researchers have explicit control of the tasks, the focus of attention is easiest to maintain.
For researchers planning to usea microtask labor market(e.g., Amazon Mechanical Turk) for a human computation project, Chandler, Paolacci, and Mueller(2013) and J. Wang, Ipeirotis, and Provost(2015) offer good advice on task design and other related issues.
In human computation projects, such as Galaxy Zoo, where researchers have explicit control of the tasks, the focus of attention is easiest to maintain.
The advantage of this computer-assisted human computation system is that it enables you to handle essentially infinite amounts of data using only a finite amount of human effort.
In human computation and distributed data collection projects, moreover, the best form of quality control comes through redundancy, not through 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).
