We are thrilled to introduce the Allora Research Forum, a central location for scholarly research-oriented collaboration and communication among the Allora Network community. Powered by Discourse, this platform offers a forum for rigorous research and discussion of a variety of subjects related to building coordination mechanisms for ML models, such as inference synthesis logic, parameter optimization guidelines, domain-specific adjustments, and model development.
Our aim with this forum is to build a vibrant environment for state-of-the-art research on the topic of collective intelligence, bringing to life the future that we are beginning to unlock. It will be semi-public, supported by a decentralized group of moderators curating contributions to achieve a high quality and high signal-to-noise research community.
Join the discussion here.
Together advancing the frontier of decentralized machine intelligence
The Allora Research Forum will be a hub for advancing our knowledge of decentralized machine intelligence, by collaborating on open research questions and driving innovation across the intersection of data science and crypto. It will facilitate focused discussions to solve major problems, develop new concepts, and advance the Allora Network. Beyond general AI/ML research, topics will include Allora-specific areas such as topic design, inference synthesis enhancements, and innovative application concepts.
The Allora community will continue developing novel mechanisms for the creation of collective intelligence, focusing initially on the following areas:
- Inference Synthesis: focus on the ongoing development of Allora’s inference synthesis mechanism, including expanding its applicability beyond supervised regression tasks, optimizing parameters, and creating higher-order products;
- Applications: research on developing specific applications that uniquely benefit from a source of collective intelligence. This includes general AI/ML model development, identifying suitable use cases, and areas where Allora’s Network excels;
- Economics: everything related to the development of Allora’s incentive structure, including reward distribution among participants and tasks, and may also include research related to tokenomics;
- Consensus: research related to Allora’s consensus mechanisms, including defining, quantifying, and organizing consensus for network validators and reputers;
- Execution: research on the development and operation of Allora, including monitoring network performance, operations, and practical elements like model deployment;
- Data: development and acquisition of suitable data for Allora, focusing on finding and refining data sets for use within the ecosystem.
