Discussion of the plans for upcoming ErUM Data call.
Pitch
Scientific progress often stalls when models remain inaccessible or unreproducible after publication. "Democratizing Models" introduces an AI-driven platform with three core pillars: a standardized model format for human-readable serialization, a sharing portal for open accessibility, and an AI-driven encoding interface to simplify model preparation and reuse. Pushed forward by an interdisciplinary consortium, the project tackles great challenges across a diverse range of applications, from enabling proper presentation of systematic and model uncertainties to breaking down complex nested models. This initiative paves the way for wide collaboration and innovation across disciplines.
We welcome to collaborators interested to extend domain of application and expertise of the consortium, please get in touch! The time table is preliminary, get in touch if you like to present something.
