The Neuromation Platform will use distributed computing along with blockchain proof of work tokens to revolutionize AI model development. The revolution is long overdue: deep learning employs artificial neural networks of extremely large capacitance and, therefore, requires highly accurate labeling. Collecting large datasets of images, text and sound is easy, but describing and annotating data to make it usable has traditionally been challenging and costly. Crowdsourcing was applied to the problem of dataset creation and labeling a few years ago, employing large numbers of humans to correct mistakes and improve accuracy. It proved slow, expensive and introduced human bias. Besides, there were tasks that humans simply could not do well, such as estimating distances between objects, quantifying lighting in a scene, accurately translating text, and so on.
