CROWD-BASED DATA-DRIVEN HYPOTHESIS GENERATION FROM DATA AND THE ORGANISATION OF PARTICIPATIVE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS
Yohann Sitruk, Akin Osman Kazakci · Proceedings of the ... International Design Conference/Design ... · 2018
In scientific process, hypothesis generation is one the most important steps where creativity is needed most. As the science becomes more open and data-driven, it becomes interesting to analyse whether a crowdsourcing approach might be beneficial in this step. First, we characterize the process as a design process. Then, based on a real-life case study, we analyse and highlight difficulties and challenges for crowd-based hypothesis generation. Last, we give a generic process model for organizing in similar challenges in other data-based scientific hypothesis generation contexts.
