One of the most popular human-computer distributed computing project is the Electric Sheep. In this project genetic algorithm is used to evolve artificial life forms. Fitness value of the individuals is formed by people votes.
Do you know other similar projects or other application of human-computer distributed computing?

Abstract:
"Recent large-scale neural networks show a high performance to complex recognition tasks but to get such ability, it needs a huge number of learning samples and iterations to optimize it’s internal parameters. However, under unknown environments, learning samples do not exist. In this paper, we aim to overcome this problem and help improve the learning capability of the system by sharing data between multiple systems. To accelerate the optimization speed, the novel system forms a collaboration with human and reinforcement learning neural network and for data sharing between systems to develop a super neural network."
I heard about this kind of projects where humans are kind of objective function. They are very interesting since they are different variables that affects the humans desitions.
