In the PR footer it also has a nice explanation of why so many businesses are so eager to apply Machine Learning to OSM: "By applying artificial intelligence tools and machine learning algorithms, imagery and data can yield critical insights about land use and land change, vegetation, the built environment and much more. Discover how location intelligence is transforming the way businesses understand and derive insights from the built environment. Contact us today." OSM is the ideal test bed for a business wanting to hone their "machine learning" skills - just dump your stuff into OSM and the community will fix it, and you can then use these fixes as a new input for your machine learning system... ... which will thereby of course fall fully under ODbL ;) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
