Overview

This independent study course explores the emergent field of "Human Computation", an interdisciplinary area of computing that engages humans in performing computational activities that cannot be completed by modern computing systems alone. Topics covered will span the range of contemporary issues related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and human computation more broadly.

Note: This course meets once weekly on Zoom.
