Why do you think companies like Google release so many things open source related with AI (papers, models, frameworks)? Because they have the data to train them. In my company 90% of my time is dealing with the dataset, having a good and big dataset is first step to train any algorithm.
- taneq 9y agoI'd never thought of this angle before, but maybe to establish prior art? They have several high level competitors all working on the same stuff. The algorithms aren't that useful without the dataset anyway, so they release the algorithms in order to block any future attempts to patent the tech?
- jorgemf 9y agoThey release the algorithms so other researches can improve them and they can use the new ones with their dataset. They release the frameworks so people learn them and then it is easier and cheaper to find employees. That is what I think.
