Thus, there is a need to combine \u201chuman computation\u201d (or crowdsourcing), together with traditional computation, in order to improve the process of understanding and analyzing data. My thesis addresses several topics in the general area of human-powered data management. I design algorithms and systems for combining human and traditional computation for: (a) data processing, e.g., using humans to help sort, cluster, or clean data; (b) data extraction, e.g., having humans help create structured data from information in unstructured web pages; and (c) data gathering, i.e., asking humans to provide data that they know about or can locate, but that would be difficult to gather automatically. My focus in all of these areas is to find solutions that expend as few resources as possible (e.g., time waiting, human effort, or money spent), while still providing high quality results.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, I will first present a broad perspective of our research on human-powered data management, and I will describe some systems and applications that have motivated our research. I will then present details of one of the problems we have addressed: filtering large data sets with the aid of humans. Finally I will argue that human-powered data management is an area in its infancy, by describing a number of open problems I intend to address in my future research program.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAditya Parameswaran is a Ph.D. student in the InfoLab at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Hector Garcia-Molina.
