Big Blue opens up hub for machine learning datasets • DEVCLASS

IBM has launched a repository of datasets for training which data scientists can pick and mix to train their deep learning and machine learning models. The IBM Data Asset eXchange (DAX) is designed to complement the Model Asset eXchange it launched earlier this year, which offers researchers and developers models to deploy or train with their own data. In a blog announcing the data exchange, a quartet of IBM luminaries, wrote "Developers adopting ML models need open data that they can use confidently under clearly defined open data licenses." The data sets in question will be covered by the Linux Foundation's Community Data License Agreement (CDLA) open data licensing framework to enable data sharing and collaboration – "where possible". DAX will also provide "unique access to various IBM and IBM Research datasets."
