Project Summary

Neural Networks have fuelled a machine learning revolution over the past decade that has led to machines accomplishing amazingly complex tasks. However, these models are largly black boxes: we know they work, but they are so complex (up to hundreds of millions of parameters!) that we struggle to understand the limits of such systems. Yet understanding networks becomes extremely important as networks are deployed in safety critical fields, like medicine and autonomous vehicles.

MLC@Home provides an open, collaborative platform for researchers studying machine learning comprehension. It allows us to train thousands of networks in parallel, with tightly controlled inputs, hyperparameters, and network structures. We use this to gain insights into these complex models.
We ask for volunteers to donate some of their background computing time to help us continue our research. We use the time-tested BOINC distributed computing infrastructure — the same infrastructure that powers SETI@home's search for alien life, and Rosetta@home's search for effective medications. BOINC is fun — you get credit for each bit of compute that you do, with leaderboards and milestones. All while helping further open research. Please follow the link below to join, and happy crunching!

If you want to see the statistics from this project on BoincStats or any of the stats site then you MUST set the "Do you consent to exporting your data to BOINC statistics aggregation Web sites?   " switch in the MLC@Home preferences.
