We get better at our task over time, and the scientists get time to improve how they present the samples to us to get the best results out of us. Tldr: It improves the science outcome for this to be a jog rather than a sprint. That's yet another reason to have us space out our efforts over multiple weeks and months, because we get better at the task when we get downtime to think about them, then come back the next day with fresh eyes. Thirdly, I've noticed that I get better at identifying groups over time. So it's not just a one-off thing, it's an iterative process to find these clusters. What I think they're doing is they're using our data to fine tune how they colour the samples, then we can use the new colours to give them better data on the same sample. You see how they colour the samples, red for higher density, blue for lower density? Well they can adjust the upper and lower cut-off for the colours, and also the midpoint, and getting those just right will reveal more details about group boundaries, while getting them wrong will obfuscate them. It's apparent that they're giving us new samples to work on as they get them ready, so it's better that we pace ourselves, instead of doing the same samples over and over again for a few days, then burning out, then not coming back to do the next batch of samples when they're ready.Īlso, I've noticed that they'll sometimes give us the same samples but presented differently, when that changes how I'll draw the polygons. I've been doing the Covid Project Discovery since it started, and I've noticed that the samples they give us change fairly regularly.
The science is more complicated than just a lot of Eve players drawing shapes.
