+ + +The MegaPixels website is based on an [earlier installation from 2017](https://ahprojects.com/megapixels-glassroom/) and ongoing research and lectures ([TedX](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfhcco9gS30), [CPDP](https://www.cpdpconferences.org/events/megapixels-is-in-publicly-available-facial-recognition-datasets)) about facial recognition datasets. Over the last several years this project has evolved into a large-scale interrogation of hundreds of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets. + +MegaPixels aims to provide a critical perspective on machine learning image datsets, one that might otherwise escape academia and the industry funded artificial intelligence think tanks that are often supported by the same technology companies who have created many of the datasets presented on this site. + +MegaPixels is an independent project, designed as a public resource for educators, students, journalists, and researchers. Each dataset presented on this site undergoes a thorough review of its images, intent, and funding sources. Though the goals are similar to publishing a public academic paper, MegaPixels is a website-first reserch project aligns closley with the goals of pre-print academic publications. As such we welcome feedback and ways to improve this site and the clarity of the research. + +Because this project surfaces many funding issues with datasets (from datasets funded by the C.I.A. to the National Unviversity of Defense and Technology in China), it is important that we are transparent about own funding. The original MegaPixels installation in 2017 was built as a commission for and with support from Tactical Technology Collective and Mozilla. The bulk of the research and web-development during 2018 - 2018 was supported by a grant from Mozilla. Continued development in 2019 is partially supported by a 1-year Reseacher-in-Residence grant from Karlsruhe HfG, lecture and workshop fees, and from commissions and sales from the Privacy Gift Shop. + +Please get in touch if you are interested in supporting this project. -If you publish data derived from MegaPixels, the original dataset creators should first be notified. -The MegaPixels dataset is made available under the Open Data Commons Attribution License (https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/) and for academic use only. +=== columns 3 -READABLE SUMMARY OF Open Data Commons Attribution License +##### Team +- Adam Harvey: Concept, research and analysis, design, computer vision +- Jules LaPlace: Information and systems architecture, data management, web applications You are free: - To Share: To copy, distribute and use the dataset - To Create: To produce works from the dataset - To Adapt: To modify, transform and build upon the database +=========== -As long as you: +##### Contributing Researchers - Attribute: You must attribute any public use of the database, or works produced from the database, in the manner specified in the license.
