  - [[quote]] [[exploration]]: structuring [[collective knowledge]] (developing a case study).
  - [[metasj]] kicks off
    - A follow on to an experiment that happened previously on-campus.
    - [[goal]] by the [[end of this week]], we should be able to describe what a satisfying collective experiment could be. Also, we’ll have [[cross-pollinated]].
  - [[introductions]]
    - [[metasj]]
    - [[agnes cameron]] works with [[metasj]], part of knowledge collaboration innovation data. In [[uk]].
    - [[samir ghosh]] runs a [[maker space]]. Does [[vr]].
    - [[sarah s]] [[neuroscience]] and [[machine learning]]. [[crowdsourcing]] to probe [[human perception]].
    - [[amr kayid]] [[munich]] [[research engineer]] at [[open mind]]. [[reinforcement learning]].
    - [[thomas renkert]] [[religious studies]] [[knowledge representation]].
    - [[kevin]] (pending)
    - [[favour kelvin]]
  - [[recap]] of approaches to collective knowledge
    - [[metasj]] how much of the audience’s work is about collaborative/collective effort?
      - [[samir ghosh]] used a mega [[google doc]]
      - [[metasj]] how fluid is the membership?
      - [[samir ghosh]] there’s a core group of people, but the [[collective]] is nebulous.
      - [[metasj]] there’s a tradeoff there.
  - [[metasj]] presents slides (see above).
    - [[knowledge futures group]]
      - [[pubpub]]
    - [[goal]]
      - choose a problem that is bigger than what you could solve yourself :)
      - we can take inspiration from [[biology]]; organisms offer lots of patterns that are useful in aggregate
      - [[city construction]]
    - [[classes of models]]
      - you’re probably within ~10km of a weather sensor part of a global network, all maintained by [[volunteers]].
      - [[alignment]] vs [[standardization]]
      - [[access]] vs [[catalysis]]
      - [[private service]] vs [[common good]]
        
        [[ancestry.com]] vs [[iceland]] (?)
      - [[feedback loops]]
      - [[incentives]] vs [[shared vision]]
    - [[examples]] from [[biology]] and [[earth]] science
      - [[inaturalist]] (!)
      - [[geograph]] (!)
        
        had to come up with a local map projection not to change base assumptions they made early on :)
      - [[open street map]]
      - [[ebird]]
        
        [[agnes cameron]] is a fan. Comments section is great :)
    - [[examples]] from the group
      - [[flancian]] on the [[agora]]
      - [[thomas renkert]] in some countries, people are assembling lists of people that died due to [[coronavirus]]
        
        [[[nytimes]] did a story on the first 10k people that died.
      - [[sarah s]] on [[imagenet]]
        
        [[collective]] in more than one way:
        
        corpus based on [[human annotation]]
        
        also building off and on several existing efforts, like [[wordnet]]
        
        related problem: updating datasets, contexts.
        
        uses of [[latent space]]
      - [[agnes cameron]] on [[arena]]
        
        [[push]] [[arena]]
        
        https://www.are.na/agnes-cameron/what-s-are-na
        
        organized in [[channels]]
        
        can be [[open]] and [[closed]]
        
        [[open source]]
  - [[inception]] practice
    - plus challenge for [[wednesday]]
    - think about [[units of collaboration]] / [[units of work]]
    - who are the [[audiences]]?
  - other interesting references

  [[2021-01-27]]§
  - [[quote]] [[inception]]: knitting the lacework - [[connecting sources]], [[queries, and outputs]]
    - Working with [[public knowledge graphs]], building new [[visualizations]] + [[overlays]]
  - [[agnes cameron]] presented an example of [[underlay, interlay, overlay]] reasoning in the field of [[food sustainability]].
  - [[blake elias]] [[ai research]] [[covid response]]
    - is [[health]] vs [[economics]] a [[zero sum game]]?
    - [[analysis]]: you can optimize for two things
      - having the fewest covid cases
      - optimize for economics
    - it turns out that in simulation runs the two don’t look that different.
      - A Poisson distribution:
      - future cases = random[(current cases) * (reproductive number) + (imported cases)]
    - aside: [[epidemic forecasting]]
    - aside: [[worry dream]]
    - aside: [[covid tracker]]
    - [[samir ghosh]] (feedback)
    - summary is: ‘flattening’ at a certain constant level (e.g. 100 cases/day) does not work as well as locking down hard and getting to zero (albeit temporarily)
    - [[agnes cameron]] [[imperial college tracker]]
    - [[pandemic game]]
  - [[samir ghosh]] on [[force directed graphs]]
