My prediction is that we won’t ever get public release of early OpenAI, Google, or even Anthropic #training #datasets.

Why? There are too many rich hard-right conservative backers who need all the misogyny, racism & hate speech to stay there.

We could have just & equal #AI, but we won’t. There’s too much money & power to be made of injustice.

BBC: Inside the desperate rush to save decades of US scientific data from deletion. “No one knows when the next alert or request to save a chunk of US government-held climate data will come in. Such data, long available online, keeps getting taken down by US President Donald Trump’s administration. For the last six months or so, Cathy Richards has been entrenched in the response. She works […]

"Almost two dozen repositories of research and public health data supported by the National Institutes of Health are marked for “review” under the Trump administration’s direction, and researchers and archivists say the data is at risk of being lost forever if the repositories go down.

“The problem with archiving this data is that we can’t,” Lisa Chinn, Head of Research Data Services at the University of Chicago, told 404 Media. Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency, and those agreements are carefully administered through a disclosure risk review process.

A message appeared at the top of multiple NIH websites last week that says: “This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives.”
Repositories with the message include archives of cancer imagery, Alzheimer’s disease research, sleep studies, HIV databases, and COVID-19 vaccination and mortality data."

#ListenBrainz / #MetaBrainz I'm confused. Aren't sponsors the true customer? Why use this? 🤔

On one hand #Music: "Listen together", "Ethical forever"

On the other: #DATASETS

"Some of the world’s biggest platforms such as Google and Amazon, use our data"

"We ask commercial supporters to support us in order to help fund the creation and maintenance of these datasets."

"The following organizations make use of the data-sets published by MetaBrainz"

STAT: Gold-standard maternal mortality database in limbo as CDC staff placed on leave. “As part of the sweeping layoffs that rocked the Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday, the entire staff that oversaw an annual survey to better understand infant and maternal health — and that was considered the gold standard in the field — was placed on administrative leave. The Pregnancy […]

HaGRIDv2-1M: 1 миллион изображений для распознавания статичных и динамических жестов

Датасет HaGRID , о котором мы писали в одном из постов , — это самый полный набор данных для построения системы распознавания жестов. Он стал очень популярным внутри комьюнити и нашел применение в таких задачах, как обучение и оценка нейронных сетей для распознавания жестов (о чем писали, например, тут и тут ), а также в таких неочевидных приложениях, как генерация анатомически корректных рук с помощью диффузионных моделей (об этом можно почитать тут , тут и тут ). Данная статья посвящена расширенной версии датасета — HaGRIDv2-1M . Тут мы подробно расскажем о её отличиях от первой версии, поделимся результатами экспериментов и обсудим новые возможности. Кроме того, мы представляем новый real-time алгоритм для детекции динамических жестов, полностью обученный на HaGRIDv2-1M . Данные, код и предобученные модели можно найти в репозиториях HaGRID , dynamic gestures , а более подробно ознакомиться с работой можно в статьях HaGRIDv2-1M , HaGRID .

Some of most valuable #datasets in human history vanished from #US #government websites, felt like watching Library of Alexandria go up in smoke

Another loss? #HouseholdPulse survey, online survey that provided week-by-week data on income losses, economic struggles and precarious mental health
