SUMMARY:Bad Data Causes Bad Decisions: How to solve the problem of data quality in your online research
DESCRIPTION:Online sampling has revolutionized research\, with more companies than ever turning to online methods of data collection to accelerate their research and consumer insights. However\, with this explosion in the amount of research being conducted online have come significant concerns over the quality of data that can be collected using online samples. \nIn this webinar Prolific’s research consultant Andrew Gordon will be discussing why data quality should be a key focus of the research you conduct online and how making business decisions based on low quality data can lead to poor outcomes for your company. He will be discussing what data quality actually is\, why it matters for industry research\, where low quality data comes from\, and\, most importantly\, what you can do to ensure that the data you receive from your online research is of the highest possible quality. There will also be ample time for questions. \nAreas that will be covered\n\nData quality – what it is\, where it comes from\, and why you should care\nImpacts of low data quality on your strategic decisions and bottom line\nFive simple steps that you can take today to increase the quality of the data you are basing your business decisions on\n\nAssessing panel provider\nValidating your participants\nChoosing the correct sample\nEffective study design\nFair treatment of participants\n\n\n\nAndrew Gordon \nAndrew Gordon\, PhD\, is Prolific’s Research Consultant. Dr Gordon completed a BSc in Psychology at Roehampton University\, followed by an MSc in Neuropsychology at the University of Bristol\, and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience also at the University of Bristol examining the neural underpinning of reliance on misinformation. Before working for Prolific he spent two years as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California\, Davis\, working on creating new behavioural and functional imaging paradigms for assessing cognitive control in children with ASD. At Prolific he works directly with researchers to make sure that they get the most out of Prolific and supports them at each stage of the research process. \nProlific is an online research platform that quickly finds research participants you can trust. Just insert your survey link\, find your target audience and collect your responses. Launch your study to tens of thousands of trusted participants in minutes. \n  \nREGISTER FOR THIS WEBINAR HERE \n(Once you’ve registered\, the login for the webinar is https://meet.goto.com/145863309) \n

Within minutes Caplena identifies topics and auto-tags your entire dataset\, freeing you from repetitive categorization. \nUsing modern machine learning platforms and a streamlined analysis process can achieve ultra-fast turn around times. Nevertheless\, it is not economically feasible to develop and operate cutting-edge deep learning algorithms for a single market research company. We have dedicate our entire energy to help you overcome that technological gap. \n\nLunch&Learn presenters keep ICG members up to speed with services that can help them run their businesses. Please support them by attending.\nSpecifically\, what will you gain from attending this session?\nIn this Lunch and Learn\, we will introduce Caplena\, the technology behind it\, and how it can make the tedious process of analysing open-ends much easier. \nOur Presenter: Pascal de Buren\nThis Lunch and Learn will be led by Pascal de Buren\, Co-Founder and Machine Learning Engineer. \nPascal\, one of Caplena’s Co-Founders and Machine Learning Engineer\, combines deep AI development in Natural Language and Computer Vision with vast experience in bringing AI technology into products. Pascal developed patented AI software for one of the largest insurance software providers in the world before founding Caplena. He holds a master’s degree in interdisciplinary sciences from ETH Zurich. \nAnd additionally\, Caplena are generously offering all ICG members a discount:\n15% Discount Code: Use this code to redeem: \nhttps://caplena.com/app/account/subscription?coupon=LUNCHLEARN_22 \nFurther links\n– Website: www.caplena.com\n– Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/caplena/\n– Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caplena_ag/\n– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CaplenaAG\n– Twitter: https://twitter.com/CaplenaCH \n  \nLogin for the Lunch&Learn is https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/815667629\nSee you there! \n  \n
