TL;DR
This chapter reviews concepts of information and computation within human computation, illustrating their application through social networks and Wikipedia to compare how these systems process and generate information.
Contribution
It provides a comparative analysis of human computation systems using information theory and computational concepts, highlighting their similarities and differences.
Findings
Social networks and Wikipedia exemplify human computation systems.
Information and computation concepts help describe and compare these systems.
The chapter offers insights into the nature of human-based information processing.
Abstract
In this chapter, concepts related to information and computation are reviewed in the context of human computation. A brief introduction to information theory and different types of computation is given. Two examples of human computation systems, online social networks and Wikipedia, are used to illustrate how these can be described and compared in terms of information and computation.
