Abstract This emerging trends article introduces concepts such as citizen science (the inclusion of non-professionals in scientific knowledge production) and knowledge games (games that enable players to solve real-world problems through crowdsourcing and collective intelligence […]
Two key problems for crowd-sourcing systems are motivating contributions from participants and ensuring the quality of these contributions. Games have been suggested as a motivational approach to encourage contribution, but attracting participation through game play […]
Emergence can be defined as a network effect, and it is little wonder that the concept plays a vital role in the theory of net-based media art. [1] The aim of this essay is to […]
EteRNA Leads Crowdsourcing Efforts To Help Scientist Better Understand RNA Molecules A game called EteRNA is being used to further research into how RNA folds itself into particular shapes. The game is a way of […]
Identifying concepts and relationships in biomedical text enables knowledge to be applied in computational analyses. Many biological natural language process (BioNLP) projects attempt to address this challenge, but the state of the art in BioNLP […]
Background: Molecular signatures for predicting breast cancer prognosis could greatly improve care through personalization of treatment. Computational analyses of genome-wide expression datasets have identified such signatures, but these signatures leave much to be desired in […]
