Student Participation in the Collective Intelligence 2015 Conference

2015年在加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉举行的集体情报会议为研究生提供了一个独特的机会，让他们与来自大学、企业、非营利组织和各种政府机构的学者和从业者互动。“集体智能”一词指的是一群人和技术资源处理信息的方式，其方式类似于但比单个人脑的功能更广泛。由于其跨学科的起源，这一新兴领域吸引了愿意走出学术竖井的思想开放的研究生。会议本身将讨论尖端思想，包括集体智能如何出现、社会计算、众包、集体搜索和记忆、利用技术提高集体智力，以及集体应对紧急情况和危机，如地震和停电。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从事变革性的工作。特别的研究生活动将在2015年的会议上发挥独特的作用。关于集体情报职业的小组讨论将由学术界、商界、非营利部门和政府的领导人发表演讲，并将重点放在四个关键维度上：知识、工具、问题和投资组合。在一个集体智力教学大纲项目中，学生们将分组工作，为一门高水平的本科跨学科课程构建可能的教学大纲。研究生挑战将让学生构建一套可以在课堂上使用的众包和集体智力挑战。

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.
