To declutter sci-libs and dev-libs from most of the "so called"
AI packages I think that a new category should be created.
Maybe sci-ai/ or dev-ai/ or sci-dl/ (deep-learning)
I really like thi idea.
For better or worse the field is growing and it would be nice
to have a separate category for it.
In my opinion the category should begin with "sci":
- "sci-ai" feels the most general but buzzwordy;
- "sci-dl" is too specific as not AI is deep learning;
- "sci-ml" (machie learning) in my opinion would be the
best choice as it describes the packages listed clearly.
As was mentioned, sci-ml would be confusing with Meta-Language.
The term "AI" has a very long and storied history, and covers the entire
field of machine learning and then some. I think 'sci-ai' is most
fitting as a result (and, besides also being more fitting, it also is
not ambiguous).
I agree. I can live with sci-ml if the consensus goes the other way, though.
For what it's worth, +1.
AI encompasses all the various sub-AI fields, including but not limited
to GenAI, ML, DL, heck, even rule-based/"expert" systems. I get really
large neural networks are all the rage at the moment, but please let's
not be restrictive here, GenAI may be all the current rage, but GenAI ≠ AI.
Kind regards,
Jaco
