| description |
Citizen science and artificial intelligence (AI) complement each other by harnessing the strengths of both human and machine capabilities. Citizen science generates terabytes of raw numerical, text, and image data, the analysis of which requires automated techniques to process in an efficient manner. Conversely, AI computer vision technology can require tens of thousands of images during the training process, and citizen science projects are well suited to provide large libraries of data. Herein, we describe how AI tools are being applied across the GLOBE Observer citizen science data ecosystem, where image recognition algorithms are supporting data ingest processes, protecting user privacy and improving data fidelity. GLOBE citizen science data has been used to develop automated data classification routines that enable information discovery of mosquito larvae and land cover labels. These advances position GLOBE citizen scientist data for discovery and use in environmental and health research, as well as by machine learning scientists working in the general field of GeoAI. |

GLOBE Observer is supported by NASA Science Activation Award NNX16AE28A for the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (Theresa Schwerin, IGES, PI). Additional support for Peder Nelson is based upon work supported by the U.S. Geological Survey under Grant/Cooperative Agreement No. G23AP00683 (GY23-GY27). The Global Mosquito Observation Dashboard was funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. IIS-2014547 to PI Ryan Carney (USF) and Co-PIs Sriram Chellappan (USF), and Russanne Low (IGES). Research by Xiao Huang and Di Yang was funded through NASA EPSCoR Grant #80NSSC21M0177. Initial AI classification models for GLOBE citizen science mosquito larvae was funded by NSF EAGER#1645154 to PI Rebecca Boger (Brooklyn College), Co-PIs Russanne Low (IGES) and Geoffrey Haines-Styles. Mosquito Alert is funded by (a) the European Commission, under Grants CA17108 (AIM-COST Action), 874735 (VEO), 853271 (H-MIP), and 2020/2094 (NextGenerationEU, through CSIC’s Global Health Platform, PTI Salud Global); (b) the Dutch National Research Agenda (NWA), under Grant NWA/00686468; and (c) “la Caixa” Foundation, under Grant HR19-00336.Peer reviewedUbiquity PressNASANational Science Foundation (US)National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (US)U.S. Geological SurveyEuropean CommissionCSIC - Plataforma Temática Interdisciplinar del CSIC Salud Global (PTI Salud Global)Dutch Research AgendaFundación la CaixaNelson, Peder V.
