That is likely true in the most pedantic sense, but in practice, if I create an algorithm that works by using a series of matrix transformations against a set of carefully chosen (read: "trained") matrices and I open-source only the matrix manipulation code but not the specially chosen matrices, I think there's a fair argument to say that I haven't open-sourced the entire algorithm.
In the phrase "the model is open-source in every sense of the word", that, IMO, must include the weights.
- Name_Chawps 4y agoI'd be curious to know if you think open source companies should share all of their database records too.
- sokoloff 4y agoI think of two broad categories of database records: transactional data (data created while running the system) and domain data (data created during development and shipped to production as part of the release process). The former type of data I wouldn't expect to ever be open-sourced. The latter type might or might not be, depending on the intent of open-sourcing the related system. If I created a human language translation system that used a SQL database to store the dictionary (domain) data and claimed the system was open-source without shipping the domain data, I think people would rightly say that the system was not fully opened.
