Avicaching: A Two Stage Game for Bias Reduction in Citizen Science
Citizen science projects have been very successful at collecting rich datasets for different applications. However, the data collected by the citizen scientists are often biased, more aligned with the citizens’ preferences rather than scientific objectives. We introduce a novel two-stage game for reducing data-bias in citizen science in which the game organizer, a citizen-science program, incen...
متن کاملeBird: Curating Citizen Science Data for Use by Diverse Communities
In this paper we describe eBird, a highly successful citizen science project. With over 150,000 participants worldwide and an accumulation of over 140,000,000 bird observations globally in the last decade, eBird has evolved into a major tool for scientific investigations in diverse fields such as ornithology, computer science, statistics, ecology and climate change. eBird’s impact in scientific...
متن کاملClustering Species Accumulation Curves to Identify Skill Levels of Citizen Scientists Participating in the eBird Project
Although citizen science projects such as eBird can compile large volumes of data over broad spatial and temporal extents, the quality of this data is a concern due to differences in the skills of volunteers at identifying bird species. Species accumulation curves, which plot the number of unique species observed over time, are an effective way to quantify the skill level of an eBird participan...
متن کاملAutomatic Workflow Generation and Modification by Enterprise Ontologies and Documents
This article presents a novel method and development paradigm that proposes a general template for an enterprise information structure and allows for the automatic generation and modification of enterprise workflows. This dynamically integrated workflow development approach utilises a conceptual ontology of domain processes and tasks, enterprise charts, and enterprise entities. It also suggests...
