Task: Identify How to Divide Up a Research Task Among Different Experts
Context: Many important projects are multi-disciplinary. Research can be accelerated by dividing tasks between individuals who specialize in different areas. However, it can be difficult to divide a project cleanly into sub-components and decide who is best suited to each part.
Input type: A problem statement, a list of people on a research team, and their skills.
Output type: A the list of team members each with an associated sub-task relevant to the overall goal.
Instance 1
Input:
Problem: Research how policy advocacy can improve the welfare of egg-laying hens
Team:
Alice, a legislative assistant in congress
Bob, a historian knowledgeable about the history of civil rights movements
Charlie, a poultry veterinarian
Output:
Alice: Research previous animal welfare legislation to create a blueprint for legislation which can pass in congress.
Bob: Identify the basis of a successful grassroots advocacy for animal welfare and determine what legislation would be popular with voters.
Charlie: Determine how conditions for egg-laying hens could most be improved.
Instance 2
Input:
Problem: Create a scalable technology to reduce surface transmission of pathogens.
Team:
Dina, an epidemiologist
Evan, a chemist
Fran, a biologist
Output:
Dina: Identify which surfaces contribute most to surface transmission of diseases.
Evan: Produce a set of antimicrobial compounds which can be added to a surface
Fran: Test the set of antimicrobial compounds produced by Evan for safety and effectiveness.
