SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/ai-model-card-purpose
What should a model card communicate?
A model's intended uses, limits, and evaluated performance.
- Only the source-code license
- Only training speed
- Intended use and performance conditions ✔
Why: A model card travels with a trained model. It reports where the model fits, how it was evaluated, and performance across relevant conditions or groups.
Huh, didn't know that: The original proposal recommends reporting results for relevant intersectional groups.
The model carried a card because even neural networks need identification.
