• Title: PredictChain: Empowering Collaboration and Data Accessibility for AI in a Decentralized Blockchain-based Marketplace
• Authors: Matthew T. Pisano and Connor J. Patterson and Oshani Seneviratne
• Abstract summary: We propose a blockchain-based marketplace called "PredictChain" for predictive machine-learning models. This marketplace enables users to upload datasets for training predictive machine learning models, request model training on previously uploaded datasets, or submit queries to trained models.

• Abstract: Limited access to computing resources and training data poses significant challenges for individuals and groups aiming to train and utilize predictive machine learning models. Although numerous publicly available machine learning models exist, they are often unhosted, necessitating end-users to establish their computational infrastructure. Alternatively, these models may only be accessible through paid cloud-based mechanisms, which can prove costly for general public utilization. Moreover, model and data providers require a more streamlined approach to track resource usage and capitalize on subsequent usage by others, both financially and otherwise. An effective mechanism is also lacking to contribute high-quality data for improving model performance. We propose a blockchain-based marketplace called "PredictChain" for predictive machine-learning models to address these issues. This marketplace enables users to upload datasets for training predictive machine learning models, request model training on previously uploaded datasets, or submit queries to trained models. Nodes within the blockchain network, equipped with available computing resources, will operate these models, offering a range of archetype machine learning models with varying characteristics, such as cost, speed, simplicity, power, and cost-effectiveness. This decentralized approach empowers users to develop improved models accessible to the public, promotes data sharing, and reduces reliance on centralized cloud providers.

• A Marketplace for Trading AI Models based on Blockchain and Incentives for IoT Data [24.847898465750667]
  An emerging paradigm in Machine Learning (ML) is a federated approach where the learning model is delivered to a group of heterogeneous agents partially, allowing agents to train the model locally with their own data. The problem of valuation of models, as well as the questions of incentives for collaborative training and trading of data/models, have received limited treatment in the literature. In this paper, a new ecosystem of ML model trading over a trusted ML-based network is proposed. The buyer can acquire the model of interest from the ML market, and interested sellers spend local computations on their data to enhance that model's quality
