Speaker: Aidan Lyon (DelphiCloud) Title: DelphiCloud: Eliciting and Aggregating Expert Estimates Date: Friday 13 September 2019 Time: 16:00 Location: Room F1.15, Science Park 107, Amsterdam

Abstract: In this talk I give a brief overview of the business and research work of DelphiCloud, a company created by philosophers for the purpose of bringing philosophical and psychological research to the private sector. I'll then present in detail some of the work we are doing with the repliCATS team at the University of Melbourne as part of the DARPA SCORE project. The SCORE project is an attempt to address the reproducibility crisis in the social sciences in part by getting experts to estimate the reproducibility of thousands of studies in these fields.
