CS 5306
Crowdsourcing and Human Computation

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Crowdsourcing and human computation refer to various ways that computing has brought together human labor to achieve outcomes that were previously beyond our individual capabilities or expectations. Wikipedia's millions of articles, the success of Linux and other open source software projects, citizen science, and the generation of large datasets for machine learning and artificial intelligence using microlabor are all examples of ways in which technology and people together have exceeded the capabilities of people or machines in isolation. This course will survey the state of the art in this area and give practical knowledge of the area, grounded in numerous examples in diverse settings.
