Model Card Lifecycle Review

What is a model card lifecycle review?

Model cards should be periodically reviewed by the model owners so that they can make sure that the information contained within the form is still accurate and up to date.

How are model cards reviewed?

Model cards are reviewed in a similar manner to releases and access requests, the main difference being that is the model owner who conducts the review. Once a model owner is happy that a model card is sufficiently filled out, they can set a review due date within the details section to the left of the model card inside the Overview tab of their model.

If a date is set, a review is automatically created, and can be responded to whenever the model developer feels is appropriate.

Approval process

The model owner(s) will get notifications nearer the time of the review date, but the review itself can be conducted sooner if it is deemed appropriate. Once the person conducting the review is happy that the model card is up to date, they can either click the review button on the model card details panel, or they can go to the reviews page where this is new section titled Lifecycle.

The review page itself is similar to that of releases and access requests, with the addition of a date selector field which is mandatory for lifecycle reviews.
