我在這里要談?wù)摿硪患匾虑?/div>
because what we're finding out is that
因?yàn)槲覀儼l(fā)現(xiàn)
we have this capacity to report eyewitness accounts of what's going on in real time.
我們有能力根據(jù)目擊者所敘述的真實(shí)情況進(jìn)行實(shí)時(shí)報(bào)道
We're seeing this in events like Mumbai recently,
就像最近發(fā)生在孟買的幾起事件讓我們意識(shí)到這點(diǎn)
where it's so much easier to report now than it is to consume it.
現(xiàn)在在那里,報(bào)道消息比隱瞞消息變得容易多了
There is so much information; what do you do?
有這么多的信息,你要怎么做呢?
This is the Twitter reports for over three days just covering Mumbai.
這是三天以來Twitter的消息,僅僅關(guān)于孟買地區(qū)的消息

How do you decide what is important?
你如何決定哪一條消息才是重要的呢?
What is the veracity level of what you're looking at?
而你所看到的消息,它們的真實(shí)性又有多高呢?
So what we find is that there is this great deal of wasted crisis information
我們發(fā)現(xiàn)充斥著大量多余的危機(jī)信息
because there is just too much information for us to actually do anything with right now.
因?yàn)閷?duì)于我們來說存在著太多的信息需要馬上處理
And what we're actually really concerned with is this first three hours.
而實(shí)際上我們真正關(guān)注的是頭三個(gè)小時(shí)
What we are looking at is the first three hours.
我們?cè)陬^三個(gè)小時(shí)所注意到的
How do we deal with that information that is coming in?
我們?nèi)绾翁幚砟切┝鬟M(jìn)的信息呢?
You can't understand what is actually happening.
你不可能知道到底正在發(fā)生什么事情
On the ground and around the world people are still curious,
無論是在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)還是世界各地的人們都是很好奇的
and trying to figure out what is going on. But they don't know.
并嘗試去了解清楚事情的進(jìn)展。然而他們并不知情。
So what we built of course, Ushahidi, is crowdsourcing this information.
那么當(dāng)然在Ushahidi我們所建立的正是要把這些信息人肉資源化
You see this with Twitter, too. You get this information overload.
你在Twitter上看到的情況也是一樣的。你得到超負(fù)荷的信息。
So you've got a lot of information. That's great.
那么你得到了許多資信。那實(shí)在太好了。
But now what?
但是現(xiàn)在接下來呢?
So we think that there is something interesting we can do here.
于是我們想到我們能夠做一些有趣的事情
And we have a small team who is working on this.
我們有一個(gè)小團(tuán)隊(duì)做這方面的工作
We think that we can actually create a crowdsourced filter.
我們覺得我們實(shí)際上能夠創(chuàng)造一個(gè)人肉資源過濾器
Take the crowd and apply them to the information.
吸納這些群眾以及把他們應(yīng)用到信息上
And by rating it and by rating the different people who submit information,
然后通過把它分等級(jí)類別把提交信息的人分不同等級(jí)類別
we can get refined results and weighted results.
我們能夠得到精確的結(jié)果和衡量過的結(jié)果
So that we have a better understanding of the probability of something being true or not.
以致我們有一個(gè)更好的了解這些信息的真實(shí)程度
This is the kind of innovation that is,
這種革新
quite frankly -- it's interesting that it's coming from Africa.
十分直接——有趣的是這個(gè)革新來自非洲
It's coming from places that you wouldn't expect.
來自一些你意想不到的地方
From young, smart developers.
來自一群年輕有為的開發(fā)者
And it's a community around it that has decided to build this.
有一個(gè)圍繞著它的共同團(tuán)體決定要建立它
So, thank you very much.
最后,非常感謝大家
And we are very happy to be part of the TED family.
我們很高興成為TED大家庭的一份子
