BlockChain News human intelligence and machine intel- ligence, where both kinds compliment each other in accordance with the task at hand. Although it sounds a bit like “sci-fi tech”, this concept is already being lever- aged in the blockchain field. Cindicator is a blockchain project that uses the Hybrid Intelligence for effective asset management, taking the input of a diverse group of analysts and enhancing it with A.I. The project white paper reads: In order to interact with the platform, us- ers must hold a certain number of Cindi- cator tokens or CND. The level of access to services like indicators, ratings, and inter- nal analytical products is defined by the amount of tokens each user holds. These tokens can be acquired in the upcoming ICO or on exchanges, once integrated. The CND token is also used to reward forecast- ers for their participation within the plat- form. “By combining a large number of diverse financial analysts and a set of machine If you are interested in learning more or learning models into a single system, we joining the Cindicator ecosystem, visit the are developing a Hybrid Intelligence infra- official website. structure for the efficient management of investors’ capital in traditional nancial and crypto-markets.” Cindicator uses the forecasts generated by thousands of analysts on the platform everyday to answer specific questions about “financial assets, macroeconomic indexes, and events significantly influenc- ing the market”. The information generat- ed by these forecasts is then put through machine learning models that calculate various weights for each forecaster. This Hybrid Intelligence system allows the collective opinion of a diverse group, os “Wisdom of the Crowd”, to be perfected according to the specifics of each fore- caster.The machine learning models take into account systematic errors of each user and their respective corrections, eliminates noise and generates final pre- dictions and trading signals based on the enhanced data. 17
