MPAI publishes 2 draft standards and 1 document for comments

MPAI (https://mpai.community) was established 11 months ago as an international, not-for-profit, unaffiliated standards developing organisation. Its mission is to develop Data Coding standards that primarily use Artificial Intelligence.

MPAI is currently working on 10 standards projects (https://mpai.community/standards/). The publicly available text of the working drafts of two of these standards is close to settled, and final approval is expected in a matter of weeks:

  1. Multimodal Conversation (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-mmc/) comprising Conversation with Emotion, Multimodal Question Answering and 3 Speech Translation Use Cases, and
  2. Compression and Understanding of Industrial Data (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cui/) comprising the AI-based Company Prediction Use Case

Professional in these fields are invited to send comments on the drafts especially on the suitability of the standards in their current form and suggestions for future work.

Comments should be sent to MPAI Secretariat (secretariat@mpai.community) via email by 20 September 2021.

Comments will not be shared outside MPAI but considered by the Development Committees in charge of the standards. An individual response provided to you.

Comments shall not include any Intellectual Property (IP) matters. If any will be received, the Secretariat will return the email and not forward it to any MPAI member or Development Committee.

Those who believe they have IP in the areas where MPAI develops standards, should read the MPAI Statutes (https://mpai.community/statutes/) and consider joining MPAI (https://mpai.community/how-to-join/join/).

MPAI is also publishing for comments its foundational document titled Governance of the MPAI Ecosystem (https://mpai.community/governance/). This lays down the rules that will govern access to the implementations based on MPAI standards and on their attributes of Reliability, Robustness, Replicability and Fairness.

An introductory paper is available at https://mpai.community/2021/08/27/the-governance-of-the-mpai-ecosystem/.
