Human computation(Section 5.2).
The prototypical example of a human computation project is Galaxy Zoo.
Human computation(Section 5.2).
Table 5.1: Examples of human computation projects in social research.
Human computation enables you to have a thousand research assistants.
Finally, the examples in this section show that human computation can have a democratizing impact on science.
Create a human computation project to see if the ratio of women to men on the cover has changed over time.
Now I can also highlight twoimportant 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.
This comparison shows that, as with Galaxy Zoo, human computation projects can produce high-quality results.
In the human computation projects that I have discussed in the chapter, participants were aware of what was happening.
It is these easy-for-people yet hard-for-computers microtasks that we can turn over to human computation projects.
Human computation projects are ideally suited for easy-task-big-scale problems such as labeling a million images.
To make this a bit more concrete,let's return to Galaxy Zoo, the human computation astronomy project discussed earlier in this chapter.
Computer-assisted human computation systems also use machine learning in order to amplify the human effort.
In the human computation problems described in the previous section, the researchers knew how to solve the problems given sufficient time.
However, Benoit and colleagues were able to use their human computation system to do this coding- customized to their research question- quickly and easily.
Human computation projects take a big problem, break it into simple pieces, send them to many workers, and then aggregate the results.
In the end, the quality of the output of human computation projects rests on the quality of the inputs that the human participants provide: garbage in, garbage out.
Human computation projects combine the work of many non-experts to solve easy-task-big-scale problems that are not easily solved by computers.
In addition to creating human computation and open call projects, researchers can also create distributed data collection projects.
In human computation projects, such as Galaxy Zoo, where researchers have explicit control of the tasks, the focus of attention is easiest to maintain.
In social research, human computation projects are most likely to be used in situations where researchers want to classify, code, or label images, video, or texts.
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.
In other words, human computation enabled them to generate coding of political texts that agreed with expert evaluations and was reproducible.
In other words, human computation enabled them to generate coding of political texts that agreed with expert evaluations and was reproducible.
Further, because the human computation was quick and cheap, it was easy for them to customize their data collection to their specific research question about immigration.
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.
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.
