# FAIR for machine learning
FAIR was written for data, extended to software (FAIR4RS -
rseng-fair-software), and is now being worked out for machine
learning (the RDA FAIR4ML interest group leads the metadata
standardization). ML needs its own treatment because a model is
neither data nor ordinary software: its behavior is inseparable
from its training data, its "source" includes weights that no
license default covers, and reuse without documentation reproduces
biases invisibly. The practical FAIR-ML unit is the CLUSTER -
model + data + code + evaluation + paper - linked both ways with
persistent identifiers.
## Findable: metadata that machines and reviewers read
- Model cards are the model's README and its FAIR metadata in one:
intended use and out-of-scope uses, training data description,
evaluation results with conditions, limitations and biases,
licensing. Hub-hosted cards (Hugging Face's structured format)
double as searchable metadata; write them from the actual
training run, not memory (the experiment config and logs are the
source - rseng-reproducibility).
- Datasets get Croissant: the MLCommons format describes ML
datasets (schema, distribution, provenance) in machine-readable
form that major hubs and search index - the ML-ready complement
to the generic dataset documentation in rseng-data-management.
- Identifiers: archive released models and dataset snapshots with
DOIs (rseng-archiving; hub storage is not preservation), and
cross-link model
