Abstract
System and method amplifying the accuracy of forecasts generated by software systems that harness the collective intelligence of human populations by curating optimized sub-populations through an intelligent selection process. Participants predict event outcomes and/or provide evaluations of their confidence in their predictions. The system determines an outlier score for each participant based on the participant's responses and the relation of the participant's responses to the predictions of the population as a whole. Participants can then be selected from the population based on the participant outlier scores.
