Yes, it would be great to see AI training becoming more democratized again, but with its mere ~2x this paper won't help that much, plus the most expensive part in training a novel AI might well be to hire all those people that you need to create a dataset spanning millions of examples.
- qayxc 6y agoTraining data isn't always an issue. There are plenty of methods that don't require labels or use "weakly labelled" data. Since most contemporary methods only make sense if lots of training data is available in the first place, many companies interested in trying ML do have plenty of manually labelled data available to them. Their issue often is that they don't want to (or can't for regulatory reasons) send their data into the public cloud for processing. Any major speed-up is welcome in these scenarios.
