THEME: INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT AND HUMANITARIAN RESPONSES
DATE: 12 JUNE 2023
Pulse Lab Jakarta is collaborating with Saraswati, in partnership with CBM Global Disability Inclusion and Data Science Indonesia, for an upcoming Research Dive for Development focusing on inclusivity. Persons with Disabilities often face disadvantages and have higher barriers to enjoying the same human rights and freedoms as their non-disabled counterparts. These barriers include inadequate data and evidence. The upcoming Research Dive aims to identify the knowledge and data gaps to promote more relevant and higher-quality data by enhancing researchers' familiarity with several data sets, including data on disability collected by the government, such as socio-economic surveys and data for disability, such as schools for children with disability. By bringing together stakeholders and exploring new ways for data integration, Research Dive has the potential to advance our understanding of disability and improve outcomes for persons with disabilities.
THEME: HOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITY
DATE: 05 AUGUST 2019
Pulse Lab Jakarta is collaborating with Bank Indonesia’s Macroprudential Policy Department for an upcoming research dive for development that focuses on household vulnerability. Understanding household financial vulnerability is important for financial system stability, because households are deeply interconnected with financial institutions and non-financial corporations. In its macroprudential policy-making, Bank Indonesia needs to measure household financial vulnerability to mitigate systemic risks, improve intermediary functions, and increase financial system efficiency. Bank Indonesia intends to explore how big data can be used to measure household financial vulnerability alongside its banking indicators and survey results.

Pulse Lab Jakarta in collaboration with UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) Indonesia, invited 16 image processing researchers and GIS enthusiast, advisors, and domain experts from 14 different universities and government research institutions, to analyse image-based datasets from social media, satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with the eventual aim of developing tools to better manage a disaster. Researchers were tasked on image classification and inference of visibility levels from hazy images, impacts quantification of volcanic eruption, and modelling risks and assessing hazards of landslides.
THEME: COMPUTER SCIENCE, NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
DATE: 22 JULY 2016
Pulse Lab Jakarta had launched Translator Gator, a people-powered language game to support research initiatives in Indonesia by translating a pre-defined set of 2,000 English keywords and phrases related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to six Indonesian languages (Bahasa Indonesia, Jawa, Sunda, Bugis, Minang, and Melayu). After gathered more than 109,000 user contributions from hundreds of players from across Indonesia, 19 computational linguistic experts and advisors from 18 different universities and government research institutions were invited assess the quality of the translations, visualize the data to make better sense of it, and fill in important translation gaps.
