Crowd Computing Research Group
At the University of Oulu, Finland
We investigate collective computing, where distributed humans and algorithms together address work too challenging for computers alone.
Given the rapid advances in AI, 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.
What's Happening at CC?
Three Focus Areas:
Digital Health
We study and develop solutions for tracking, monitoring and helping people with various chronic and challenging medical conditions.
Crowdsourcing
We work with the crowds in many ways: Basic research on how the modern online human subject pools and labour markets operate and applied research where we employ the crowds for 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.
