Explainable AI: From the peak of inflated expectations to the pitfalls of interpreting machine learning models.However, Facebook's approach of using publicly available data to train systems could provide an alternative way of training systems using billion-strong datasets without the overhead of manual labeling. For instance, ImageNet was put together over two years by nearly 50,000 people, mainly recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk. “While they’re not telling us too much, they did say that they were having poor sales for a myriad of reasons and are hopeful that they will be able to refinance the company and negotiate with the bank to refinance some of the debt.The laborious process of labeling the datasets used in training is often carried out using crowdworking services, such as Amazon Mechanical Turk, which provides access to a large pool of low-cost labor spread across the globe. “Heathkit is telling us that they have temporarily closed, but that they are hopeful that they will be able to reorganize,” he told the ARRL. Tom Ferriter, of Technical Education Products, is an outside sales representative for HES, based in Hampden, Massachusetts.
An unsubstantiated report on Wikipedia states that “ December 2011, Heathkit Educational Systems laid off most employees and in March 2012, the company indefinitely suspended operations.” Likewise, Heathkit’s Marketing and Sales Director Ernie Wake listed his employment ending in April 2012. On LinkedIn, a popular networking site, HES Chief Executive Officer Lori Marciniak listed her employment ending at Heathkit as of March 2012. The ARRL tried to reach Heathkit to confirm that the company is still in business, but their phone and fax numbers have a continuous busy signal, and e-mails to the company have gone unanswered. In August 2011, Heathkit announced it was returning to the kit building business, and in September, that it would once again be manufacturing Amateur Radio kits. Rumors of the legendary kit-building company’s demise were posted on QRZ.com, with several readers bringing the news to the attention of the ARRL. For the second time since 1992, Heathkit Educational Services ( HES) has shuttered its doors.
