Ownership preserving AI Market Places using Blockchain
We present a blockchain based system that allows data owners, cloud vendors,
and AI developers to collaboratively train machine learning models in a
trustless AI marketplace. Data is a highly valued digital asset and central to
deriving business insights. Our system enables data owners to retain ownership
and privacy of their data, while still allowing AI developers to leverage the
data for training. Similarly, AI developers can utilize compute resources from
cloud vendors without loosing ownership or privacy of their trained models. Our
system protocols are set up to incentivize all three entities - data owners,
cloud vendors, and AI developers to truthfully record their actions on the
distributed ledger, so that the blockchain system provides verifiable evidence
of wrongdoing and dispute resolution. Our system is implemented on the
Hyperledger Fabric and can provide a viable alternative to centralized AI
systems that do not guarantee data or model privacy. We present experimental
performance results that demonstrate the latency and throughput of its
transactions under different network configurations where peers on the
blockchain may be spread across different datacenters and geographies. Our
results indicate that the proposed solution scales well to large number of data
and model owners and can train up to 70 models per second on a 12-peer non
optimized blockchain network and roughly 30 models per second in a 24 peer
network
Viz: A QLoRA-based Copyright Marketplace for Legally Compliant Generative AI
This paper aims to introduce and analyze the Viz system in a comprehensive
way, a novel system architecture that integrates Quantized Low-Rank Adapters
(QLoRA) to fine-tune large language models (LLM) within a legally compliant and
resource efficient marketplace. Viz represents a significant contribution to
the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in addressing the challenges
of computational efficiency, legal compliance, and economic sustainability in
the utilization and monetization of LLMs. The paper delineates the scholarly
discourse and developments that have informed the creation of Viz, focusing
primarily on the advancements in LLM models, copyright issues in AI training
(NYT case, 2023), and the evolution of model fine-tuning techniques,
particularly low-rank adapters and quantized low-rank adapters, to create a
sustainable and economically compliant framework for LLM utilization. The
economic model it proposes benefits content creators, AI developers, and
end-users, delineating a harmonious integration of technology, economy, and
law, offering a comprehensive solution to the complex challenges of today's AI
landscape
IDMoB: IoT Data Marketplace on Blockchain
Today, Internet of Things (IoT) devices are the powerhouse of data generation
with their ever-increasing numbers and widespread penetration. Similarly,
artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions are getting
integrated to all kinds of services, making products significantly more
"smarter". The centerpiece of these technologies is "data". IoT device vendors
should be able keep up with the increased throughput and come up with new
business models. On the other hand, AI/ML solutions will produce better results
if training data is diverse and plentiful.
In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based, decentralized and trustless
data marketplace where IoT device vendors and AI/ML solution providers may
interact and collaborate. By facilitating a transparent data exchange platform,
access to consented data will be democratized and the variety of services
targeting end-users will increase. Proposed data marketplace is implemented as
a smart contract on Ethereum blockchain and Swarm is used as the distributed
storage platform.Comment: Presented at Crypto Valley Conference on Blockchain Technology (CVCBT

XSRL: An XML web-services request language
One of the most serious challenges that web-service enabled e-marketplaces face is the lack of formal support for expressing service requests against UDDI-resident web-services in order to solve a complex business problem. In this paper we present a web-service request language (XSRL) developed on the basis of AI planning and the XML database query language XQuery. This framework is designed to handle and execute XSRL requests and is capable of performing planning actions under uncertainty on the basis of refinement and revision as new service-related information is accumulated (via interaction with the user or UDDI) and as execution circumstances necessitate change
Estimating commitment in a digital market place environment
The future generation of mobile communication shall be a convergence of mobile telephony and information systems which promises to change people's lives by enabling them to access information when, where and how they want. It presents opportunities to offer multimedia applications and services that meet end-toend service requirements. The Digital Marketplace framework will enable users to have separate contracts for different services on a per call basis. In order for such a framework to function appropriately, there has to be some means for the network operator to know in advance if its network will be able to support the user requirements. This paper discusses the methods by which the network operator will be able to determine if the system will be able to support another user of a certain service class and therefore negotiate parameters like commitment, QoS and the associated cost for providing the service, thus making the Digital Marketplace wor
Usage of Network Simulators in Machine-Learning-Assisted 5G/6G Networks
Without any doubt, Machine Learning (ML) will be an important driver of
future communications due to its foreseen performance when applied to complex
problems. However, the application of ML to networking systems raises concerns
among network operators and other stakeholders, especially regarding
trustworthiness and reliability. In this paper, we devise the role of network
simulators for bridging the gap between ML and communications systems. In
particular, we present an architectural integration of simulators in ML-aware
networks for training, testing, and validating ML models before being applied
to the operative network. Moreover, we provide insights on the main challenges
resulting from this integration, and then give hints discussing how they can be
overcome. Finally, we illustrate the integration of network simulators into
ML-assisted communications through a proof-of-concept testbed implementation of
a residential Wi-Fi network
