The Event
Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) strategies utilizing big data have recently demonstrated remarkable achievements in solving hard computational problems.
The emerging field of citizen science explores problem solving hard problems from a different angle by transforming them into online games enabling everyday citizens to play and contribute to the solution. As such, citizen science is continually probing the current fault line between artificial and human problem solving as it actively seeks out solutions to hard scientific problems.
In a unique setup, we then aim to bring together a diverse group of researchers from the natural, cognitive, and behavioral sciences to explore a number of fundamental questions that are to be found at the intersection of these fields:
Which classes of research problems allow for intuition and heuristics based solutions and consequently enable the superiority of human problem solvers?
Which cognitive and behavioral processes underlie human performance?
Can these be exploited in new optimization algorithms? Can we transform the insights of processes of human problem solving into general advances in the field of AI and in specialized optimization algorithms?

Crystal Crop Fever
In Crystal Crop Fever you choose individual squares to see how many crystals are revealed beneath. The underlying goal of the game is to gather information about players’ complex decision-making, when being affected by the decisions of other players.
The Alice Challenge
Play the Alice challenge to find the optimal cooling sequence in a real cold atom experiment. The end goal is to have the largest possible amount of cold atoms in a trap after several cooling sequences.
