Crowd Computing Research Group
At the university of Oulu, Finland
We investigate distributed forms of work, where the tasks are too challenging for computers alone.
Given the rapid advances in AI, we think it is imperative to identify and harness the unique aspects of human cognition and develop ways for humans and algorithms to collaborate seamlessly across different domains.
Digital Health
We study and develop solutions for tracking, monitoring and helping people with variously chronic and challenging medical conditions.
Crowdsourcing
We work with the crowds in many ways: Basic research on how the modern labour markets operate and applied research where we employ the crowds in a plethora of applied use cases online.
Social Computing
We work with different systems that either foster our human behaviours (e.g. empathy) or leverage sociality as a building block in encouraging contributions to open science.
