QUESTION
How hard, on a scale of 1 to impossible, how hard would it be for Apple, or someone else to just grab the model google is using from the pixel and reverse engineer it and steal all their years of research.
- anchpop 6y agoIt would probably be easy for any on-device model. But it would be illegal
- rytill 6y agoWhat part of it is illegal? What if they reverse engineered the model, and then understood the fundamentals of how it worked, and implemented and trained the same architecture with different data? Or trained their own architecture with data sampled from the Google model? is it "stealing" data, the architecture, the parameters, or the act of reverse engineering and productizing the knowledge?
- chrischen 6y agoThat's what patents are for. The tricky part is figuring out what aspects were obvious or not to an industry professional. Models are also usually black boxes, and the techniques used are published.
- jamescham 6y agoMy understanding is that Google’s big advantage is that they’ve collected so much good, annotated voice data.
