What

How to design/foster social structures / incentives / programs for fostering synthesis-friendly work, such as writing living literature reviews, adding metadata to experiments, etc.?

Resources

Identified Open Problems

  • Acceptance and onboarding of scientists, even if we have a model that works in a small setting
  • Value attribution:
    • How do you distribute rewards?
    • Opportunity side: new tools looking at ways to provide input to that distribution mechanism
    • How do we connect the two sides?
  • How do we test the behavior of a model as it scales?
    • How do we predict the inventive structures or perverse behavior will arise as it’s adopted for a large number of players
  • Incentive mechanisms for contributing and maintaining living lit reviews in both domains

Goal for the workshop:

Resources, such as a system map/synthesis of the problem space, synthesis/directory of tools, essential reading list, case study library, or shared synthesis benchmark dataset

  • The best tools in the world mean nothing if no one adopts them. Let’s merge together small scale testing with early adopters, with rigorous validation. Create a resource that the tool builders across the group can glance at to not lose sight of the critical point of adoption. With practical examples of how these mechanisms are designed, iterated upon, and how they can be tested and communicated to academia. * A tool builder should check their assumptions agains this checklist before ...

On "organize thought and writing on a central theme/problem to facilitate future work" track, if there is interest, I would be keen to bring together those that would like to map out:

  1. The structural options for rewarding contribution.
  2. Learnings from past and ongoing attempts (what truly motivates sustainable participation).
  3. New funding sources that could sustain those reward mechanisms.

Then map to the enabling effects of the tooling and model initiatives occurring across the workshop. One goal would be to connect the thread from these new funding sources and methods to the attribution and reward mechanisms offered by discourse graph and synthesis tooling.
