Primes¶
- Population Coding
- Wisdom of crowds — crowd averages on continuous estimates outperform individuals when individual errors are partially independent, each person a noisy tuned element in a population code. Sensor networks — arrays of cheap, noisy sensors with overlapping fields of view yield high-precision distributed estimates through beamforming, constellation geolocation, or distributed monitoring that no single sensor could match. Forecasting — forecast ensembles and prediction markets aggregate many imperfect models into an estimate that beats any individual model. Immune system — a population of B-cells with diverse receptor specificities collectively covers the antigen space, providing reliable detection no single cell could.
This sourceDescribes how a diverse population of lymphocyte receptor specificities collectively covers antigen shape-space.
