Ask HN: Would you buy/sell encrypted dataset for machine learning?
Hi, would you buy or sell quality datasets to teach your AI on? The thing is that the data and model would be encrypted, so both would stay hiden from the other parties. What pros/cons do you see in such approach? Thanks, TB
- verdverm 7y agoEncryption does not equal privacy. Some amount of metadata would be required to know if the data is the type of data we want to make a model for. How would data cleaning or feature selection work?
- bartolomej 7y agoThank you for remark! I was thinking about this as a problem too. That needs to be addressed. I can imagine that some metadata would be public. Keeping it simple, basic stats of dataset, number of items in the category, names of categories. But the dataset would still not leak sensitive information about the exact data ( like the identities of people ) so they could not be misused or stolen.
