He is known for his work on crowdsourcing (especially Amazon Mechanical Turk)[5][6][7] and on integrating human and machine intelligence.[8]
He also worked on the intersection of data mining with economics, through the EconoMining project.[9] The finding that good spelling and grammar can lead to improved product sales was discussed in the media.[10] [11][12][13][14]
He is the author of the blog "A Computer Scientist in a Business School", where he often writes about crowdsourcing and other topics. Many of his blog posts are frequently cited in the press and in academic papers.[15]
