Publish best OrcaHello model(s) along with a RAIL (Responsible AI License)

[scottveirs]

This issue has three main tasks:

• Publish the latest versions of the OrcaHello model (binary SRKW call classifier) within the aifororcas-livesystem repo, or -- if they exceed Github's 100MB/file limit -- in Orcasound's acoustic-sandbox S3 bucket
• Document how each model was trained and deployed, and how it performs
• Compose and publish with the model(s) a Responsible AI License (RAIL)

A recent RAIL example was published with Orcasound's orca-aye-eye` repo which presents an object detection algorithm for side-view images of boats and ships. The Orca Aye Eye RAIL was customized from boilerplate acquired via the Responsible AI license generator.

A key step in this final task will be for the OrcaHello model developers (past and current) and other interested Microsoft hackathon participants to compose an Attachment A with agreed-upon USE RESTRICTIONS... We can and should discuss potential restrictions below, but here are a few to ponder initially:

1. Whaling industry
2. Captive whale industry
3. Whale-watching (commercial and recreational)

Here is a first draft of a RAIL to cover models and associated apps & source code.

OrcaHello Real Time Inference System-RAIL.md

Where the Attachment A: USE RESTRICTIONS section at the end reads like this:

You agree to use the OrcaHello models to promote the conservation of scientific study of the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales and other soniferous marine species. You agree not to use them in any way that further endangers them or other wildlife. Additionally, you agree not to use the Artifacts in furtherance of any of the following:

1. Illegal or unethical whale watching behavior

   (a) In any way that violates any applicable national, federal, state, local or international law or regulation, including the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act and the rules issued by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Candaa.
   (b) In any way that results in vessels acting contrary to the Be Whale Wise voluntary guidance and regulations within the range of the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales (from Northern BC to Northern California).
   (c) In any other ways that reduces the conservation of Southern Resident Killer Whales and other soniferous species, rather than increasing their conservation and recovery.

2. Captive whale industry and whaling

   (a) In any way that supports the capture and captivity of soniferous whales, especially killer whales.
   (b) In connection with activities that present a risk of death or bodily harm to individual whales, including inciting or promoting violence, abuse, or any infliction of bodily harm to an individual or group of individuals.

Comments welcome!

I've put a copy of the current model (.pkl file) along with the proposed RAIL and draft README.txt file inside a zip file named the same as the zip file containing the model in the Inference README.md. It has now been uploaded to the S3 bucket called acoustic sandbox that also contains other open models developed through Orcasound projects (Pod.Cast, OrcaAL, Orca-Eye-Aye, etc.)

By packaging the RAIL within the model's zip file, we can be more confident that our expectations for acceptable model use will be understood and observed.

Discuss the proposed RAIL and README here, and then vote on whether we should finalize them and take this approach.
