Hi, I wondered if there are any licenses that are appropriate for the weight data in neural-network/learning systems. (It's mostly an idle thought rather than something I've got a project on).
For example, if I were to train a voice-recognition system on a mix of source audio under a bunch of different licenses, what can I license the trained system under? It seems in some ways some systems can be seen as lossy compression systems, e.g. (1) - so those are on the edge of having a lot of the original source, but that doesn't feel like it should be true of something trained for voice recognition say - I bet the border between the two cases will get some interesting cases. In the case of voice-recognition I was thinking of trying to train things on speeches given at (open-source) conferences, which is what got me thinking about it. There are probably some fun other cases, like if someone starts with your model and then trains it a lot more, what are the terms they're allowed to distribute their new model under.
