Full Title or Meme
Accuracy here means the probability of getting a good answer to a question.
Context
Alternate views of getting the truth or getting the best answer were considered, but rejected for our purposes. Here a good answer is clearly dependent on the purpose of the answer.
Problems
Examples
- According to research, trained pigeons can identify cancerous tissue in medical images with an accuracy rate of around 85% individually, and when their responses are pooled together as a "flock," their accuracy can reach up to 99%, which is comparable to human experts in the field; essentially, a flock of pigeons can be as accurate as humans in evaluating cancer screening images. Of course, either the humans or the pigeons must be properly trained first.[1]
