Crowdsourced Probability Estimates: A Field Guide (FAIR Institute)
Slides from Tony Martin-Vegue's webinar for the FAIR Institute on May 11, 2018
"Crowdsourced Probability Estimates: A Field Guide"
Abstract:
Probability estimates are the cornerstone of any good risk assessment in which data is sparse or expensive to come by, and are often thought of as one of the best ways to supplement existing information with subject matter expertise. Many risk analysts, however, can run into issues when trying to integrate the opinions of many subject matter experts into a risk management program. Some of these problems are: seemingly contradictory probability estimates, bias that can creep into results and the challenge of collecting and using large amounts of data.
This talk covers:
Building a program within a company to crowdsource probability estimates from a varied group of subject matter experts
Controlling for bias
Weeding out non-experts

Crowdsourced Probability Estimates: A Field Guide
Probability estimates are the cornerstone of any good risk assessment in which data is sparse or expensive to come by, and are often thought of as one of the best ways to supplement existing information with subject matter expertise. Many risk analysts, however, can run into issues when trying to integrate the opinions of many subject matter experts into a risk management program.
Some of these problems are: seemingly contradictory probability estimates, bias that can creep into results and the challenge of collecting and using large amounts of data.
This talk covers the presenter's own experience in building a program within a company to crowdsource probability estimates from a varied group of subject matter experts, controlling for bias, weeding out those that aren’t exactly experts and scaling the program for large companies. Participants will be surprised to find that they already have many of the tools they need to get started, such as the ability to email surveys and simple models to create distributions from many the probability estimates they collect.
Why Use Neuromarketing V4
Neuromarketing uses EEG to measure neurological engagement and responses to stimuli like advertisements. Sands Research developed a Neuro-Engagement Factor (NEF) scoring system to measure engagement levels and compare ads. Real-time EEG data and Mean Global Field Power graphs show engagement levels and which scenes were most effective. Neuromarketing provides unfiltered insights into how well ads convey messages, reinforce brands, and create interest that cannot be gained from traditional questioning. It has provided substantial ROI for companies by improving ad campaigns and identifying ineffective spots.
Films Studies Coursework
The document outlines the coursework requirements for an internal assessment on exploring and creating film. Students must submit four pieces of work: 1) A film exploration analyzing a chosen film's production, distribution, and reception, 2) A pitch and preproduction for their own film idea, 3) A creative production based on their preproduction, and 4) A reflective analysis of what they learned about film from the process. Students can complete certain elements individually or in groups of up to four.
Evaluation question 5- part 3
The document summarizes the results of a survey about a film product. 18 people responded to the survey about a thriller film sequence. 44.5% rated the product an 8 on how well it reflected the thriller genre. The music and character choice were cited as the most effective aspects. While some felt the music was a downfall, the creator chose to make an original soundtrack. Most respondents said they would be interested in a full feature film. The target age range identified was 15-18, matching the creator's goals. Feedback will help the creator improve aspects like narration for future projects.
Question 3
The document summarizes feedback from a survey about a music video. Key findings include:
- Females responded more than males, providing a female perspective on a video with a male protagonist. This highlighted different viewpoints.
- Most respondents were in the target demographic of 17-21 years old, with some older perspectives. Feedback focused on the intended audience.
- Most identified the genre as indie rock, showing conventions were conveyed successfully, though some missed it.
- Respondents provided both positive and constructive criticism. A common criticism was a lack of versatility in performance shots.
- The narrative about a deteriorating relationship was understood by all.
- Production values for the low budget
Questionnaire Results and Analysis
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about film preferences and expectations. It finds that:
- 75% of respondents were female and most were over 30 years old, not the target younger audience.
- While crime and horror were not most popular genres, 75% and 63% respectively said they liked those genres.
- Most respondents watch films sometimes or often and would expect exciting elements in a film opening to continue watching.
- Respondents provided expectations for an effective film opening that the document's ideas can be adapted to meet.
Survey results
The survey results showed that the target audience for the horror film trailer is primarily female (72.22%), between ages 17-20 (61.11%), and prefers to watch psychological (33.3%) and paranormal (22.22%) genres of horror. Most respondents said they would watch a horror film with friends (66.67%) and at home (61.11%). The quality of the trailer (61.11%) was the top factor to persuade viewers to watch the film. This information will help the filmmaker create an effective trailer that targets this key demographic and includes elements that appeal to their preferences.

Most respondents watched movies and understood the purpose of title sequences. Responses were mixed on whether people enjoyed watching title sequences, but over half said they did. Respondents indicated title sequences should be between 30 seconds to 2 minutes long. The most popular aspect of title sequences was that they provide hints about the movie.
Survey Analysis
The document analyzes the results of a survey about film preferences. Key findings include:
- Trailers have the biggest impact on whether audiences see a film. The poster needs to grab attention visually.
- Audiences prefer films shown in major cinemas and on physical copies, indicating the trailer and marketing should target a major film release.
- Elements like characters, plot, music, cinematography and hints of surprise are important to include in the trailer to attract audiences. The trailer should reflect the genre while leaving some mystery.
Audience Research
This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire conducted to research the target audience for a documentary about how social media and the internet have influenced witchcraft. Key findings include that the audience is primarily female over 31, with 26% identifying as Pagan. Most watch or sometimes watch documentaries and find them informative. Over 75% expressed interest in the proposed documentary topic and over 80% believe social media has positively affected witchcraft. The research will help focus the documentary content and ensure it meets audience interests and expectations.
What have you learned from your audience feedback
The document discusses the results of a questionnaire given to an audience after viewing the filmmaker's short film. Key findings include:
- 90% of respondents enjoyed the film, while 10% found the storyline too disturbing.
- Scenes were seen as too long by some and editing was called slightly scruffy.
- 16/20 felt the film fit horror/thriller conventions well, particularly its use of eerie music.
- Feedback will be used to refine the film, such as shortening scenes and improving editing.
- The audience perspective is valuable for improving the film's popularity.

Evaluation 3
The document summarizes the results of an online survey conducted to gather audience feedback on a music video. Only 36 people completed the survey, indicating that online surveys may not be reliable for gathering responses. The majority of respondents believed the video conveyed generic pop song conventions. Most also felt the video was lyrically visual, though some disagreed. The document discusses lessons learned from each question, such as being more explicit in conveying elements and ensuring survey questions are clearly worded. It concludes that more research is needed to create promotional materials that are more effective at persuading people to buy an album.
Survey analysis canon
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted to understand a target audience. It asked questions about respondents' age, gender, familiarity with Canon, interests in photography topics like street photography, and willingness to take up photography as a hobby. The majority of respondents were found to be 16-18 years old, female, familiar with Canon, like photography including street/dark styles, and interested in photography as a hobby. The survey results provide insight into tailoring a campaign toward the target audience.
Exit poll report
The document summarizes an exit poll survey conducted after the 2016 film Blair Witch. The survey found that the primary audience was younger (18-24), male, and students. Most attendees heard about the film from the trailer. The storyline and trailer were most effective at attracting audiences. Most felt the film met their expectations based on marketing. The survey suggests the marketing campaign, especially the trailer, was successful in promoting the film to its target demographic.
Survey questions horror
Paige Marsh carried out a survey on Survey Monkey to analyze results from a horror film trailer questionnaire. The survey received 67 responses from people aged 17-20 mostly, and was shared on Facebook to increase responses. Question 1 asked about respondent age to provide context. Question 2 found horror was the second most popular genre. Question 3 found jump scares and scary music were most important for a trailer. Question 4 found 15 and 18 ratings were most expected for a horror film. Question 5 asked about respondent gender to identify any differences in how males and females perceive horror movies.
Summary of questionnaire results
The questionnaire results showed that most respondents were female, between 15-18 years old, and enjoyed shopping in their spare time. Nearly all respondents watched horror films, with over 70% watching them regularly. Respondents enjoyed the tension and plot twists in horror films and predominantly favored supernatural horror films. They expected trailers to include montages of gripping scenes without giving too much away, and found fast pacing, introductions to characters, and sound/music appealing in trailers.
Survey Research 101
This document provides an overview of online surveys, including what they are, when they are the right research method to use, how to design good survey questions, sampling techniques, analyzing survey results, and the skills needed to conduct surveys. Some key points covered include: surveys involve asking structured questions to summarize opinions in numerical format and generalize to a population; good questions are mutually exclusive, exhaustive, and focus on opinions rather than usability; probability sampling allows for predicting accuracy and generalizing, while non-probability provides some insight; descriptive statistics summarize responses and variation, while inferential statistics predict behavior and influences; and surveys have limitations in explaining reasons and characteristics.
Audience research

The document discusses the process of designing a magazine focused on electronic music. It describes choosing a simple font and color scheme of white, red, and black for the cover to attract attention without overdoing it. Photoshop was used to design the cover and double page spread. Two photos were used but had different lighting conditions, making it hard to make them appear taken in the same studio. Improvements could have been made to the front cover photo and design. Conventions like issue numbers and page numbers were included to make the magazine seem more authentic. The text layout separated the artist name and interview into two columns. Overall, the design followed conventions to engage the target audience of electronic music fans.

Editing process
The document discusses editing two images for a magazine cover.
For the first image, the background is removed and the image is darkened to make it stand out on different backgrounds. Tools like levels, curves, hue and saturation are used to mimic artificial lighting effects. Bevel and emboss and drop shadow effects are added.
The second image involves duplicating the layer, cutting out the subject on one layer, desaturating the background layer, and applying a red color filter gradient. Curves are used to make the subject stand out against the red background. Levels and hue/saturation are also used to brighten and desaturate the image slightly.
Evaluation
The document provides a lengthy evaluation of the author's final major project creating a short film. Some key points:
- The overall technical quality was let down by digital noise visible in shots due to high ISO settings, though post-production color correction helped.
- New skills like script writing were developed, while others like pre-production planning were improved. Cinematography skills increased but some shots were shaky.
- Editing was challenging but a learning experience, though color correction differences between scenes were noticeable.
- Overall the project increased the author's film experience and skills in areas like script writing, cinematography, and editing, but some aspects like the plot reveal could have been strengthened.
Fonts
This document discusses choosing fonts for a film title that is a hybrid of mystery and thriller genres. It recommends three fonts - Bebas Neue, Shoemaker, and Vacer Sans - for their simplicity and clean, thin textures that would make the title look professional and stand out. Of the three, Shoemaker is selected as the best fitting font for the film due to its damaged aspect, which would represent the protagonist and highlight the issues of mental illness.

Guidelines for Final Major Project Pitch
The document provides guidelines for a final major project pitch organized into slides: Slide 1 introduces the presenter and their chosen media format and goals. Slide 2 gives a synopsis of their mystery/thriller idea and why they chose it. Slide 3 discusses what inspired the idea and links it to a similar short film. Slides 4-5 identify the target audience and how to attract them. Slide 6 outlines the production stages. The conclusion wraps up the pitch.
Task one
This document discusses different types of briefs used between media companies and clients. A contractual brief clearly outlines expectations, prices, and terms agreed upon by both parties. A negotiated brief allows some flexibility for the media company to discuss issues and negotiate aspects of the project. A formal brief provides detailed information about the project goals without unnecessary details. An informal brief discusses the project verbally without a written document, allowing open discussion but risking lack of clear expectations. Communication of briefs is typically via email while file sharing platforms can also be used. Time management is important, and can be helped by a production schedule. Technical skills and experience levels needed vary depending on the size of the media company and complexity of the project.
Task one
A contractual brief sets clear expectations and guidelines for a media company to follow for a specific task. This includes prices and payment terms agreed upon by the client and media company. While it provides clarity on what the client wants, it could result in a heavy workload straining the media company.
An informal brief outlines the project verbally rather than through a written document, allowing open discussion between the client and media company. This gives the media company flexibility to provide input before finalizing the deal. However, it risks the media company declining tasks they see as too labor-intensive or missing details the client expected.
Gwl5 m
The document discusses factors that influence whether a film will be remade, including financial reasons, technological advancements, and social/political issues. Financially, remakes present lower risks than original films. Technologically, improvements in visual effects, audio quality, and distribution methods impact remakes. Socially, remakes may address issues like LGBT representation or political concerns that have changed since the original.
Magazine anaylsis's
The document analyzes the front covers of two magazines - Empire film magazine and Vibe music magazine - using Gutenberg's reading principles. For Empire, the use of a popular film poster appeals to its target audience of younger adults. While the magazine has a broad demographic, this cover specifically targets lower and middle class male readers. Vibe features the electronic artist Deadmau5, appealing to its target audience interested in urban and electronic music and culture. Both magazines effectively use design principles like prominent text and images to attract readers from the primary optical area to the terminal area according to how the eye reads.
Production diary
The document discusses the production of the author's short film for their final major project. Production went well overall, with the author managing to complete all shots on time. One issue was that the garage location had a lot of clutter that was difficult to hide or move. Another shoot took multiple hours but they were able to complete it in one day. There were some complications like preparing the camera and the author's directing skills being rusty, but improved over time. One actor also dropped out last minute, but a friend helped fill in. Overall, filming went quite well despite some challenges.
Script for pitch
The document provides guidelines for a final major project pitch consisting of 6 slides: Slide 1 introduces the presenter and their chosen media format and goals. Slide 2 provides a synopsis of their mystery/thriller idea and why they chose it. Slide 3 discusses what inspired the idea and links it to a similar short film. Slides 4-5 identify the target audience and how to attract them. Slide 6 outlines the planned production stages. The conclusion wraps up the pitch.

call sheet
This production call sheet summarizes the logistics of filming the movie "SanityAgainstReality" over two days at two locations. It details the shooting schedule and scenes to be filmed each day, contacts for those involved in the production, and a basic equipment and props list. Precautions are noted around utilizing private homes for filming and managing other potential risks. The goal is to efficiently allocate time and complete all necessary scenes within the scheduled filming windows.
Short film analysis 3
The short film uses effective cinematography and editing techniques to tell a science fiction story. Medium shots are used throughout to show both the protagonist and the environment as she explores the room she finds herself in. Close-ups express her emotions. Long shots establish a sense of isolation. A tracking shot at the end reveals her attempted escape was an illusion. The dark color scheme and advanced technology portrayed are conventions of the science fiction genre. The narrative follows a linear three-act structure as the protagonist first discovers her locked room, then attempts escape, only to find it was not possible.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
