In computer science, a technique when an algorithm or computational process relies on human abilities to achieveperform its goalfunction, e.g. to solve a certain computational problem or a set of problems. This approach explores differences in abilities and alternative costs between humans and computer agents to achieve human-computer symbiotic interaction. This approach was originated at the intersection of computer graphics and evolutionary computation by [[Karl Sims]], who used human visual perception and esthetic ability to implement evaluation function in evolutionary programming application.
