Crowdsourcing

The more you crowdsource, the more you reach beyond your own community, the more you will reduce Computer Bias. Crowdsourcing provides the ability to obtain shared information, share information, and participate in distributed computing.

Evidence of Crowdsourcing

  • Wikipedia has a ton of information from crowdsourcing, see Wikipedia definition on crowdsourcing. It can have inaccuracies, but when it does it often is corrected through a self-policing community. Reviews and many authors have made this, according to many, better than "official" information.
  • Crypto currency and associated block chain. All exchanges of money are validated at least 3-times by independent miners. If there is a flaw in the independent calculations the process is checked and performed again. Innovation of crypto crowdsourcing has impact on how governments think about currency. Additionally, block chain algorithms are being considered for many other crowdsourcing most private data (ie medical records).
  • COVID data, it is easy to recognize areas that are contributing and not contributing. This data has impacted all our lives and decision we make on attending public events, flying on planes, or wearing masks. The community of data and analysts will spawn many new ways of thinking about data that impacts lives.

Obtaining Data via Crowdsourcing

  • We have all experienced Crowdsourcing by using external data through API's, namely RapidAPI. This data has influenced how we code and shown possibilities in obtaining and analyzing data.
  • Additionally, we have all participated in code Crowdsourcing by using GitHub. Many of you have forked from the Teacher repository, or exchanged code with fellow students. Not only can we analyze GitHub code, but we can obtain profiles and history about the persons coding history. The Teacher presenting these videos recommends Kaggle for code and science exploration. Then of course, once we have an idea what to "Learn", the avenue of crowdsource youtube or google searched articles make the word our Teacher.

  • CompSci has 150 principles students. Describe a crowdsource idea and how you might initiate it in our environment?
  • What about Del Norte crowdsourcing? Could your final project be better with crowdsourcing?
