To those of you who are unfamiliar with the Eventum blockchain project, you can read about it on another post that I wrote. Now that you understand what the Eventum project is about, it'll be beneficial to see examples of what it is and what it will be used for. At present, you can join the Eventum Alpha, and experience your first event on the platform. And also have a chance to win a share of the remaining 6,390,000 EVTs and/ or 51 ETH.
The following use case categories are based on the events already being hosted on the Eventum platform through their Eventum Alpha MVP.
1st Use Case Category - Image Recognition
With pictures being uploaded to the internet on a huge scale, it usually causes quite a controversy among viewers. Images can be anything from personal photos, vacation pictures, even a simple mathematical problem was used in the first event. Usually, people are found arguing in comments over what they see and cannot reach a consensus. With the image recognition event, participants can view the image and reach a collective consensus.
To date, the types of image recognition events hosted were a mathematical problem and recognising emotions. I can forsee this use case category including number of people/ objects in a photo, colour of objects, lie detection and body language analysis to name a few.
2nd Use Case Scenario - Content Moderation
Also, with creative content being created at scale on blogging platforms, social media etc, it is difficult for companies to moderate all content in a timely manner. Some inappropriate content may be overlooked and cause controversy. With the content moderation event, participants can review content on different platforms and reach a collective consensus.
To date, the types of content moderation events hosted were an inappropriate content filtering event to moderate tweets and recognizing a crypto scam among a series of posts. I can forsee this use case category including reviewing blog posts, photo and video captions, speeches and even memes to name a few.
3rd Use Case Scenario - News
Everyone is updated with the ongoing workings of the world through news channels and media websites. Some of these articles have outrageous headlines which are used as clickbait to lure unsuspecting users to read their article. Won't it be nice to actually have an article with an appropriate headline? Or even view trustworthy news without having to question its authenticity? With news events, this dream is no longer just a dream but close to becoming a reality.
To date, the type of news events hosted was a fake news detection event to determine whether the news listed was fake or not. I can forsee this use case category including news headline authenticity, news type/ category relevance, history validation to name a few.
4th Use Case Scenario - eSports
Esports is a growing industry that's sure to change the lives of many. With competitions being held across the world for huge prizes, there's surely a need to reach undisputable consensus pertaining to the results and gameplay. Even better is that this use case scenario can utilise the fans of these competitions as data providers. With millions of fans across the world all looking at the same competition, there's sure to be huge data points for eSport centered events. Even better, the larger the consensus, the more the results cannot be disputed. Using wisdom of the crowd consensus, there's sure to be less biased judging and more accurate results.
To date, the type of eSport events hosted was a live stats to determine who drew first blood in the finals of ESL One Katowice 2018 Major. I can forsee this use case category including camping reputation, lag time, player contribution to team, best strategy etc. Though this category is eSports, I'm certain that it can also be used in various physical sports such as football, cricket, tennis to name a few.
5th Use Case Scenario - Real-time Video Analysis
The applications for real-time video analysis is huge. So many videos are being streamed in real time, whether they are uploaded to social platforms or even streamed on dedicated private servers. In the case of videos streamed on social platforms, crowd consensus can either shut down the video for inappropriate content, raise its trending rating or even vote based what they see. For real-time video streamed on dedicated private servers, the private entity can ask specific users with high a reputation to reach a consensuswhile they watch the real-time video.
To date, the type of real-time video analysis event hosted was to detect suspicious actiivty. Users were asked to look at a stream and determine any suspicious activity. This can be really useful for home security systems, business security systems and sport streams to name a few.
6th Use Case Scenario - Image Labelling
Image labelling is another big application that can be used on the Eventum platform. Imagine having an image and taking an inventory of everything seen in the image. Open to bias and someone missing parts of the photos due to human error right? With the crowd consensus, this allows users to see things collectively and one user may pick up on something missed by another user and so on. Not using crowd consensus is subject to inaccurate information and can lead to disastrous events.
To date, the type of image labelling event hosted was an artificial intelligence (AI) feedback categorisation to recognise objects in an image and categorize them accordingly. For the future, I can see video labelling being added. This will be a gamechanger for sure.
7th Use Case Scenario - Fact Checking
Facts Facts Facts. Either its true or not. But how can you tell what is true and what's not when everyone is fueling propaganda, either consciously or subconciously. Eventum and crowd consensus is how you sort truths from lies. Imagine writing a paper and to determine who's read it, you create an event on Eventum with consensus rewards to check/ verify facts in the paper. On the flip side, imagine having to write an educational paper and instead of spending time researching, you create an event and get eager users to do the research for you and create a consensus. Guaranteed facts and such a time-saver.
To date, the type of fact checking event hosted was Eventum's whitepaper fact check to determine whose read it. I can see this being used for verifying article content with headlines, and as mentioned above, verifying facts relating to topics for educational and even recreational use.
From the above 7 Use Case Scenarios, it is clear that the types of events can function in different categories. Fact checking can include news verification, emotion recognition, eSport facts etc.
It is clear that the Eventum platform has real world application and is sure to be a game changer in the future.
