    • Computational Environment Design 

      Zhang, Haoqi (2012-10-26)
      The Internet has evolved into a platform on which large numbers of individuals take action and join in collaborations via crowdsourcing, social media, and electronic commerce. When designing social and economic systems on ...

    • Human Computation Tasks with Global Constraints 

      Zhang, Haoqi; Law, Edith Lok Man; Miller, Robert C.; Gajos, Krzysztof Z; Parkes, David C.; Horvitz, Eric (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)
      An important class of tasks that are underexplored in current human computation systems are complex tasks with global constraints. One example of such a task is itinerary planning, where solutions consist of a sequence ...

    • PlateMate: Crowdsourcing Nutrition Analysis from Food Photographs 

      Noronha, Jon; Hysen, Eric; Zhang, Haoqi; Gajos, Krzysztof Z. (Association for Computing Machinery, 2011)
      We introduce PlateMate, a system that allows users to take photos of their meals and receive estimates of food intake and composition. Accurate awareness of this information can help people monitor their progress towards ...

    • Toward Automatic Task Design: A Progress Report 

      Huang, Eric; Zhang, Haoqi; Parkes, David C.; Gajos, Krzysztof Z.; Chen, Yiling (Association for Computing Machinery, 2010)
      A central challenge in human computation is in understanding how to design task environments that effectively attract participants and coordinate the problem solving process. In this paper, we consider a common problem ...
