Hi Debian Developers, Deep learning is not far from you. Maybe next day it will land onto your computer through a fancy code completion plugin or something alike.
Again I renamed the "DL-Policy" into ML-Policy. Please help me move a step further on standarlizing the ML-Policy, before really filing a BUG against the Debian Policy. My goal is to get it merged in the end (why shouldn't I?). I've moved the explanations and all the introductory words from the main document to another file `faq.rst` (explanations are still not organized after reconstruction). As a result, the main document only contains the draft for the proposed policy section, very concise: https://salsa.debian.org/lumin/ml-policy/blob/master/ML-Policy.pdf https://salsa.debian.org/lumin/ml-policy/blob/master/ML-Policy.html The source is in restructuredText format, but gitlab doesn't render rst. PDF is my recommended format for reading. Other changes: 1. Removed nonsense from the definitions and the terms. Now the definitions should be much clearer. 2. A part of "ToxicCandy" model has been split into a new category "Sourceless model". This new category is for models that doesn't cause serious problem even if misbehaved. See document for the precise definition. Any suggestion, comment will be appreciated, as usual. Dear developers, please tell me more cases to be studied, especially if your package ships pre-trained machine learning models (especially neural network) if you aren't sure how to classify it. Currently I don't have much examples to study and verify my proposal: https://salsa.debian.org/lumin/ml-policy/blob/master/case-study.md Please send mails to me or submit a issue here: https://salsa.debian.org/lumin/ml-policy/issues I'll review all the cases you provide. After reviewing enough amount of cases, I'll start a standard RFC. Apart from the policy proposal, there are still some ambiguous problems when a deep learning software is licensed under GPL-*. I think I should assemble a list of such problems in the future, and maybe contact FSF for help. Let's prepare for the era of AI?
