Professor Luis von Ahn, a winner of the MacArthur “genius grant.” ESP Gameaddresses the inability of today’s computers to identify random images. two anonymous players are matched online without any means of communicating. Both players are shown an image (for example, a flowering plant) while a clock counts down. The players must then type words that describe the image, such as “plant.” When both players have typed at least one word in common, they both score points. More importantly, the players have also unintentionally taught the computer that the picture contains a plant!More than 20 million labels have been harvested by the ESP Game in just a few years — the equivalent of several million dollars of free labor. Professor von Ahn estimates that just 5,000 people playing for a month could label every image on the web. Notably, Google has adopted the ESP Game and renamed it the Google Image Labeler, which anyone can play here.
