Citizen Science Showcase: Day 1 Citizen Science Showcase Presentations
- Hugh Dickinson (The Open University)
Description
Presentations about citizen science projects, platforms, tools and best practices.
Gravitational waves have opened an entirely new window on the Universe, paving the way to a new era of multimessenger observations. Ground-based detectors such as Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA, are extremely sophisticated instruments, with the formidable task of measuring spacetime deformations smaller than 10^-18 meters, as those produced by gravitational wave sources like the...
Domestic magazines issued between 1900 and 1949 are a vital cultural repository of knowledge about ordinary women’s daily lives during a period of upheaval, both globally and in Britain. They are also hugely under-researched, owing in part to two major methodological challenges: collecting data from vast texts, and analysing this data in ways that are sufficiently representative, nuanced, and...
The current generation of volume electron microscopy techniques routinely produce datasets in the terabyte regime. Modern computational techniques such as deep learning have shown a great deal of promise for automating the analysis of such data, but a major limitation is the lack of availability of ground truth training data which is often painstakingly generated manually by researchers. Our...
In this presentation, we propose a new citizen science initiative involving citizen scientist who can help label imagery for computer vision applications for solar physics research. The end goal of this project is to develop a state-of-the-art ML model for the identification and semantic segmentation of solar flares in H alpha images.
During this session we will demonstrate, step-by-step, how to build a new project using the Zooniverse "Project Builder" interface. The Project Builder allows researchers to design, create, deploy and manage a simple Zooniverse projects using a friendly graphical user interface.
We will explain how to create a new project, add tutorial and pedagogical material, set up a classification...
