Public and Private AI Training: Different Accuracy Standards
By
–
Also, my personal opinion is that both public pretraining (with certain constraints/limitations) as well as private training from scratch both have roles to play in the space. They of course can't be held to the same accuracy standard though.

Public vs Proprietary Datasets in AI Model Training
By
–
Thanks Alex. I like the papers that do this, but I also have some concern when this is done on a dataset that is proprietary and only Google has access (JFT). I would like to see a version that is pretrained on LAION. This still has privacy issues, but is at least all public.
