About this Group

👐 Anyone can view all content in the group, but only people who join it can post to it. Anyone can join to participate.


Purpose: Provides a forum for researching potential applications of Machine and Deep Learning in library science, including discussions, publications, and outreach to the wider Library community. Its goal is to educate librarians on uses of the complex techniques of machine learning and to provide a space for critically thinking both about new applications, and about the ethical and social impact of these technologies , as the field rapidly expands in the coming decade.

This group is part of Core's Technology Section.

"What is a Machine Learning Librarian?" blog post by Huggingface's Machine Learning Librarian

  • 1.  "What is a Machine Learning Librarian?" blog post by Huggingface's Machine Learning Librarian

    I saw this blog post, which is really interesting.  "What is a Machine Learning Librarian" https://machinelearninglibrarian.substack.com/p/what-is-a-machine-learning-librarian .  It is by the Machine Learning Librarian with Huggingface.  Huggingface is an AI company with offerings similar to ChatGPT.  In contrast to other large scale trained implementations of artificial intelligence, Huggingface is truly open and releases code as well as trained models.  From the blog post, Huggingface hosts a Hub "which holds over 300,000 machine learning models, 62,753 datasets and 1000s of machine learning applications and demos".  It is possible to get at the inner workings of the software - not just an API, which is what most other artificial intelligence applications are to people not working at the company.

    Best,
    -Wilhelmina
