Games With A Purpose Help With Tasks That Tax Computers
Falkkin writes “Luis von Ahn and his team at Carnegie Mellon University have launched GWAP, a new web site for ‘Games With A Purpose.’ By playing these online games, humans help provide data for problems that are hard for computers to solve, such as computer vision and sound classification. Slashdot has previously covered other human computation projects by Dr. von Ahn, including the ESP Game and reCAPTCHA. The new web site contains a re-vamping of the ESP Game as well as four completely new games.” (Falkkin also points to an AP story on GWAP and to coverage at the BBC.)Read more of this story at Slashdot.
