Info Tech: Skychain-infrastructure blockchain project

Introduction

We present you a Skychain project. Skychain is an infrastructure blockchain project aimed to host, train and use artificial neural networks (ANNs) by market participants.

First years of Skychain development will be devoted only to medicine to help doctors and patients have accurate diagnoses using this system.

Skychain is a "sharing economy" project, it means that each member of the Skychain ecosystem will provide his resources and thus create a product that is ahead of any competitors. In its turn, the system will reward each participant with high benefits https://skychain.global/

Skychain is a project that will "uberize" artificial neural networks, but with developers of individual ANNs instead of taxi drivers, consumers of ANNs (doctors and patients) instead of passengers and computers and server of miners instead of cars.

What is Skychain ?

Skychain is a "distributed open network" project designed to accurately diagnose patients and prescribe effective treatment. Skychain has the following advantages:

 Uploading any ANNs trained by laboratories or specialists to Skychain and receiving payment from end users of ANNs;

 It's a data marketplace as Service for Deep Learning, where medical data suppliers will be able to offer their datasets as a service for AANs training;

 Effective use of miners’ computing resources to ensure smooth operation of a neural network;

 Public pay-per-use access to the neural network capabilities;

 Open distributed storage of all ANNs within Skychain and their settings, stored in a distributed chain of blocks according to the blockchain principles;

 Constant learning of a neural network upon adding new information and experience.

The main causes of incorrect diagnoses are:

 Narrow view of doctors on the problem, doctors specialize in individual organs or body systems and often do not see the picture as a whole;

 Lack of experience and gaps in the knowledge of doctors often result in their inability to diagnose rare diseases;

 Not enough time for the analysis of anamnesis due to high utilization of methods and a lot of time spent on documentation;

 Difficulty of determining a disease according to X-ray, CT, MRI, histological tests at a nonstandard course of a disease, as well as high dependence on the subjective experience of a doctor visit https://skychain.global/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/wp.pdf more information.

The current situation in the market of medical neural networks is the initial stage of its emergence.Current problems:

 Laboratories, creators of ANNs face difficulties to provide access to them for end users (doctors)due to the lack of a single infrastructure. Skychain will provide them an analogue of AppStore,that will let any doctor use a certain neural network.

 Experienced specialists in the field of artificial neural networks do not have access to medical data, due to a large number of possible data providers and a high cost of the data itself. Skychain contains a data marketplace, which provides a possibility to train neural networks for a fee using a large number of datasets, created by independent providers. It offers the possibility to train the deepest and most accurate neural networks while paying the royalty to data providers.

 Large corporations, such as IBM, can’t train thousands of ANNs required to fully cover all areas of medical diagnostics on their own. Skychain will host thousands or even tens of thousands highly specialized neural networks created by hundreds of laboratories and corporations.

 The market of neural network development is constrained by high costs of equipment for effective learning and the complexity of tools for building and training ANNs. Skychain will provide convenient tools for building ANNs, as well as their inexpensive and fast learning with the help of distributed computing resources of Skychain participants, that will exceed data centers of large corporations in their computing power.

GOAL

The goal of our team is to collect at least $10-30 million for project development. This sum will be enough to finish all the developments and connect all market participants (medical data providers, developers of neural networks, doctors) into a single so-called “ecosystem”, based on the Skychain’s infrastructure. All the funds, raised above $10 million mark will be used to dominate the market in order to attract the maximum number of participants as soon as possible, and thus give no chance to possible competitors.https://bountyhive.io/join/SKYCHAIN

Skychain Architecture

Blockchain network

The central element of the Skychain ecosystem is the Blockchain network providing interaction between network participants. A block, which size is limited to 10 MB, includes confirmation of the execution of the following operations (transactions):

 Skychain Global Coin transactions

 Requests for an inference using a neural network

 Requests for neural network training

 Publishing inference results

 Publishing a new neural network in the register (1 per block)

 Changing a neural network’s owner (10 per block)

 Updating a neural network (10 per block)

TOKEN SALE

Skychain project is based on existing approaches and technologies, and all the legal and regulatory issues have been worked out. So hopefully all Skychain token buyers will make a nice profit when the project is implemented.
