Student Participation in the Collective Intelligence 2015 Conference

2015年集体智慧会议在圣克拉拉，加州，为研究生提供了一个独特的机会，与学者和从业者从大学，企业，非营利组织，和各种政府机构进行互动。“集体智慧”一词指的是一群人和技术资源对信息的处理，其方式类似于单个人脑的运作，但比人脑的运作更广泛。 由于其跨学科的起源，这一新兴领域吸引了愿意走出学术孤岛的思想开放的研究生。 会议本身将讨论前沿思想，包括集体智慧如何出现，社会计算，众包，集体搜索和记忆，使用技术来提高集体智慧，以及对地震和停电等紧急情况和危机的集体反应。 参加会议将为学生提供概念，想法和经验，鼓励他们在未来的职业生涯中做变革性的工作。特别的研究生活动将在2015年会议中发挥独特的作用。 关于集体智慧职业的小组讨论将提供学术界，商业，非营利部门和政府领导人的演讲，并将重点放在四个关键方面：知识，工具，问题和投资组合。 在一个集体智慧的教学大纲项目，学生将在团队中工作，以构建一个高层次的本科，跨学科课程可能的教学大纲。 一个研究生挑战将涉及学生在构建一套众包和集体智慧的挑战，可以在课堂上使用。

The 2015 Collective Intelligence Conference in Santa Clara, California, provides a unique opportunity for graduate students to interact with scholars and practitioners from universities, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and various government agencies. The term "collective intelligence" refers to the processing of information by a group of people and technological resources, in a manner comparable to but more extensive than the functioning of an individual human brain. Owing to its interdisciplinary origins, this nascent field attracts open-minded graduate students willing to step out of their academic silos. The conference itself will address cutting edge ideas including how collective intelligence emerges, social computing, crowdsourcing, collective search and memory, the use of technology to improve collective intelligence, and collective responses to emergencies and crises such as earthquakes and power outages. Attendance at the conference will offer students concepts, ideas, and experiences that will encourage them to do transformative work in their future careers.Special graduate student activities will play a distinct role in the 2015 Conference. A panel discussion on careers in collective intelligence will offer presentations by leaders in the academy, business, non-profit sector, and government, and will focus on four key dimensions: knowledge, tools, questions, and portfolios. In a collective intelligence syllabus project, students will work in teams to construct possible syllabi for an upper level undergraduate, interdisciplinary course. A graduate student challenge will involve students in constructing a set of crowdsourcing and collective intelligence challenges that can be used in the classroom.
