SUMMARY:Brown bag: Haym Hirsh
DESCRIPTION:Title: Networked Human Computation\nSpeaker: Haym
	 Hirsh\nAbstract: Online crowdsourcing resources such as Amazon
	 Mechanical Turk have made it possible to write programs that call on
	 human labor as if they were subroutines\, with people performing tasks
	 that humans are better than computers at performing.  Just as we might
	 write better algorithms for parallel computers by being aware of the
	 underlying parallel architecture\, we can write better \"human
	 computation\" algorithms by being aware of relevant aspects of the human
	 cognitive architecture.  I'll discuss examples of how results in
	 cognitive and social psychology are informing the design of human
	 computation algorithms\, and how we can nonetheless bring computer
	 science sensibilities to the design of such systems.  This is an
	 emerging area with numerous unexplored questions\, and I'll discuss a
	 number of promising open directions for research in this area.
