UPCOMING EVENTS
•
Crowdsourcing Evidence, Augmentation, Thinking and Evaluation
(CREATE) Program - Proposers' Day Conference
June 30
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Washington, DC Metro Area
Hosted by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA)
The purpose of the conference will be to provide introductory information on the
CREATE program, which aims to improve analytic thinking by combining
structured reasoning techniques with crowdsourcing. CREATE will develop and
test methods to help dispersed groups of individuals identify and evaluate the
structure and contents of arguments in relation to alternative hypotheses.
Specifically, CREATE aims to develop (1) structured methods to elicit and
aggregate the elements of an argument and (2) ways to crowdsource the use of
these methods, so that many individuals can collectively develop and refine an
argument. Those interested can register here at this site; deadline for registration
is June 23rd. For more information, click here >>
