Due to advances in automated image acquisition and analysis, whole-brain connectomes with thousands of neurons are finally on the horizon. However, many person-years of manual proofreading are still required to correct errors in these automated reconstructions. We created FlyWire to facilitate the proofreading of neuronal circuits in an entire fly brain by a community of researchers distributed across the world. While FlyWire is dedicated to the fly brain, its methods will be generally applicable to whole-brain connectomics and are already in use to proofread multiple datasets. In this talk I will describe how FlyWire’s computational and social structures are organized to scale up to whole-brain connectomics and present on our progress towards the generation of a proofread whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly. Biosketch Sven Dorkenwald is currently a PhD student in the Seung Lab at Princeton University. In his PhD he is developing systems, infrastructure and machine learning methods to facilitate the analysis of large-scale connectomics datasets. Together with collaborators at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, he developed proofreading and annotation infrastructure that is used to host multiple large-scale connectomics datasets and runs FlyWire. FlyWire.ai is an online community for proofreading neural circuits in a whole fly brain based on the FAFB EM dataset. --- The organizer of meetings with outstanding scientists is the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM), University of Warsaw. The Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM) University of Warsaw is involved in interdisciplinary scientific research based on mathematical modeling, computer simulations and modeling, multi-scale and large-scale calculations. The popular meteo.pl weather portal has been established by using ICM computed weather forecasts. ICM researchers study problems related to civil aviation (collaborating with ICAO), modeling of social processes and most recently working on ICM Epidemiological Model for the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland. ICM took part in securing access for Polish scientists to the entire body of scientific literature, including over 8,000 journal titles, by maintaining the Virtual Library of Science. ICM networking team has participated in a number of cutting edge networking solutions, both for high throughput and low latency requirements. Recently, ICM engineers have established a production 100Gbps connection over 12,375 4 miles CAE-1 (Collaboration Asia Europe-1) line between Warsaw and Singapore.   / scfe_conference   #VirtualICMseminar
