CrowdSourcing uses human intelligence to solve tasks that are simple for humans but difficult for computers. CrowdSourcing can also use humans as sources of valuable information, for example, to exploit the 'wisdom of the crowd.' In this talk, I will give an overview of the CrowdSourcing work we are doing in the Stanford InfoLab. In particular, I will describe DeCo, a database system that seamlessly gives access to traditional data as well as to crowd information. I will also describe some crowd algorithms, where a computer orchestrates human tasks that solve a larger problem.
