ECOSYSTEMS?
HOW CAN WE
APPROACH SCIENCE
IN THE BIG DATA
ERA.
CITIZEN SCIENCE – ONE OF KEY MODELS & KEY APPROACHES
Egle Marija Ramanauskaite
DATA GENERATED FASTER THAN CAN BE ANALYZED
SUPER FAST COMPUTERS?
HUMANS ARE BETTER AT: SPATIAL COGNITION
Fold.itProtein folding
HUMANS ARE BETTER AT: PATTERN RECOGNITION
HUMANS ARE BETTER AT: CREATIVE THINKING
TASKS ARE TOO *BIG* FOR HUMANS …
CROWDSOURCING+ = HUMAN COMPUTATION ECOSYSTEM
CITIZEN SCIENCE: SCIENCE CROWDSOURCING• REAL DATA
• REAL SCIENCE
• Many non-scientist eyes & brains
• WISDOM OF THE CROWD
EyeWire
Phylo FoldIt
• Powered by TECHNOLOGY
• Done by HUMANS
…BREAKTHROUGHS HAPPEN
CERN COMPUTING CHALLENGE• Theories of particle physics
need to be tested and validated
• That requires billions of computational simulations
• SUPERCOMPUTERS ARE NOT ENOUGH OR NOT AFFORDABLE
…VOLUNTEER COMPUTING TO THE RESCUE
• CERNVM RUNS SIMULATIONS OF PARTICLE COLLISIONS
• DIFFERENT LHC PARAMETERS TESTED
• ALIGNED WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA FROM LHC
• THEORIES REFINED
POWERED BY …

CROWD2MAP TANZANIA• CROWDSOURCING
and OPEN DATA to create a map of a country
• Gathering local knowledge through mobile devices
• Adding that data to OPENSTREETMAP.ORG
