Croissant Baker: Metadata Generation for Discoverable, Governable, and Reusable ML Datasets
Rafi Al Attrach, Rajna Fani, Sebastian Lobentanzer +17
Croissant has emerged as the metadata standard for machine learning datasets, providing a structured, JSON-LD-based format that makes dataset discovery, automated ingestion, and re…
A Sustainable AI Economy Needs Data Deals That Work for Generators
Ruoxi Jia, Luis Oala, Wenjie Xiong +4
We argue that the machine learning value chain is structurally unsustainable due to an economic data processing inequality: each state in the data cycle from inputs to model weight…
Croissant: A Metadata Format for ML-Ready Datasets
Mubashara Akhtar, Omar Benjelloun, Costanza Conforti +28
Data is a critical resource for machine learning (ML), yet working with data remains a key friction point. This paper introduces Croissant, a metadata format for datasets that crea…
Generative Fractional Diffusion Models
Gabriel Nobis, Maximilian Springenberg, Marco Aversa +11
We introduce the first continuous-time score-based generative model that leverages fractional diffusion processes for its underlying dynamics. Although diffusion models have excell…
