Flash Forward Workshop
We are hosting a Flash Forward Workshop (https://ffwd.flashgrants.org/calendar.html). It is going to be a hands-on session for people to try out our software and give us feedback. We are also going to discuss briefly about our current projects, its motives, and so on. more info will be added
25th Feb. 2021
- global challenges (1 min) . Epidemics, climate
- scientific publication (scale 2 million/year) - answers in the literature
- Ebola prediction
- automation and re-use
- tech applicable to "all" scientific disciplines
? current project EO, past projects climate and epidemics ? demo is specific topic of invasive species ? theme invasive species ? introductions ?
[St Edmunds Game - Gita. Present science to non-scientists. Fun! Involved. May 2021]
Let us look at a possible scenario. You want to find out which organizations are actively involved in viral epidemics research. What do you do? You’ll have to go through a subset of >1 Million “open” access papers, index them for what you want and analyse them. That to me sounds impossible for a human to do.
That’s where we step in. We, as a community, are building tools to ‘get’ papers to be downloaded onto your machine, index them with a set of terms related to the question of interest and make preliminary inferences to help us get a flavour for what the plausible answers to our questions might be.
Technically speaking, we have 3 major components.

(Brief explanation)
We have used these technologies in our projects like open virus and openclimateknowledge and we continue to work on it, now with CEVOpen. CEVOpen was born out of TIGR2ESS and focuses on extracting plant knowledge from literature.
Our team consists of young Indians from a varied background. Some with laptops, and some with just phones. But together we all are doing quality science. We also believe in open notebook philosophy and all of what we do is available on our GitHub page including our outreach events.
Why I love being a part of OpenVirus
- how it can harness the power of Science to build a better world.
- how it connects young minds, the world over, for a vibrant inflow of ideas
- how it employs open-source technology for building tools that are much needed.
Please suggest:
- Should I add a demo of our Machine Learning endeavors?
- Jupyter Notebook YES - maybe available beforehand
or Powerpoint?
Refactoring for portability. (e.g. in Jupyter Notebook). Google Collab.
(Not in order) 2 min demo of Wikidata (preprepared as REST) - explain query and then run. (not many hits) (country and invasive species) NOTE: lack of items in WD for invasive. How to amend this- item for discussion
Use Notebooks where possible.
