Alex Kosorukoff’s Summary
My primary research interest is understanding the mechanisms of collective intelligence and developing computational techniques that make groups of people more intelligent and effective in identifying/solving their problems.
Since 1995, I am exploring new forms of organization enabled by collaborative filtering and evolutionary computation. My project 3form Free Knowledge Exchange, launched in summer 1998, combines intelligent abilities of many people to identify and solve their problems by allowing them to perform simple operations on available knowledge: select, contribute, modify, and recombine pieces of knowledge. The goal of the project is to create an open community that effectively makes every participant more successful in solving her everyday problems. It also implements the concept of attention economy: the social software controlling the flows of problems and solutions at the site ensures that attention of people is allocated in a fair way, the amount of attention a person receives to her problems is balanced against the amount of attention this person pays to problems of others.
