Collaborative Machine Learning Research: Open Data, Models, Tools
Abstract: In this session, Suzana will talk about BigScience – a one-year long collaborative research initiative on large multilingual datasets and large language models with hundreds of contributors from all over the world. She’ll show how we can work toward accessibility, transparency, and responsible AI development through a decentralized community-driven research approach and collaboratively designed release strategies, while the Hugging Face ecosystem provides the open source infrastructure for data, models and tools.
