「英語で読ませた時でさえ、マンガの要約に集合知は有効か?」

研究者らの過去の実験では、100コマ程度のストーリーマンガを大学生に与え、5%~20%のコマに要約させ、選択率の高い上位n%のコマを抜き出すと、nをいくつにしても良い要約になった。つまりマンガの要約に、集合知は非常に良く機能した。しかし集合知はどれほど頑健だろうか? たとえば、同じマンガを英語に翻訳して読ませた時でさえ、なお集合知は有効であり続けるのだろうか? 60名の大学生に実験を行った結果を報告する。

Translation

Do wisdom of crowds work for the comprehension for a cartoon that written in English ?
In a past study that provided Japanese university student a cartoon consisting of nearly 100 strips, and let each student summerize them to fewer numbers of strips like 5 to 20% of the original. then reseachers analysed the quality of their summaries. they found that wisdom of crowds were well functioned in the study.
Firstly, reseachers ranked each strips according to the number students selected for summury, and secondly they selected strips which were higher in the ranking, such as top 5% or 10% and so on, and finally they analysed the quality of their works.
However, a question remains, if the caroon is translated into English. can researchers get the same results?
We will report the outcome of our study conducted on 60 university students.
