NOTICE — MetaFLOS HMI Transcripts

Dataset: MetaFLOS HMI Transcripts (Manufacturing Human-Machine Interaction Dialogue Dataset) Author / rights holder: Tzer-jen Wei License: CC BY 4.0 (see LICENSE)

This file is informational. It records provenance, upstream terms, and safety advisories. Nothing here adds conditions to the CC BY 4.0 grant — CC BY 4.0 §2(a)(5)(B) forbids downstream restrictions, and none are intended.

---

1. Provenance

All 30 scenarios / 325 turns are synthetic, produced by gemma3:27b via scripts/gen_hmi_dataset.py (seed scenario → LLM transcript → role and non-empty validation). No real conversation, factory event, or personal data is contained.

2. Gemma (Google) — verified position

Verified against the Gemma Terms of Use (last modified 2026-04-01) and the Gemma Prohibited Use Policy (last modified 2024-02-21):

• Gemma Terms §1.1(e): "For clarity, Outputs are not deemed Model Derivatives."
• Gemma Terms §3.3: "Google claims no rights in Outputs you generate using Gemma."

This dataset consists solely of Outputs. The redistribution conditions of Gemma Terms §3.1 — enforceable pass-through of use restrictions, delivery of the Gemma Agreement, NOTICE file — attach to Gemma and to Model Derivatives, and therefore do not attach to this dataset. The author generated it in compliance with the Gemma Prohibited Use Policy, as §3.2 requires of the party operating the model.

If you fine-tune on this dataset: Gemma Terms §1.1(e) defines "Model Derivatives" to include a model created by "methods based on the generation of synthetic data Outputs by Gemma for training that model" so as to cause it "to perform similarly to Gemma". A model you distill or fine-tune with that effect may itself be a Gemma Model Derivative and become subject to the full Gemma Terms. Training a different base model for manufacturing-domain capability is a different case. Assess your own situation before distributing.

3. Scenario inspiration sources

20 of the 30 scenarios name a public academic dataset as the origin of the defect category that inspired the scenario (e.g. "surface scratch on a metal nut, MVTec AD metal_nut class").

No text, image, annotation, or other expressive content from any of these sources is reproduced, adapted, or redistributed here — only factual category and domain references are used. Accordingly, no ShareAlike or other copyleft obligation of those sources attaches to this dataset.

Source	Holder	Scenarios
MVTec AD	MVTec Software GmbH	6
IRWoZ 1.0 / 2.0	Aalborg University	4
NEU-DET	Northeastern University	3
DeepPCB	Tang et al.	3
KIDE4I	Tekniker Foundation	2
ICNLSP 2023 corpus	respective authors	1
KolektorSDD	Kolektor Group / UL FRI	1
Self-authored	Tzer-jen Wei	10

If you obtain and use any of these upstream datasets directly, you must do so under that dataset's own license, which this notice neither grants nor alters.

4. Safety advisory — not engineering guidance

The parameter values, setpoints, tolerances, and corrective actions in the dialogues are synthetic illustrations, not validated engineering guidance for any real machine. They have not been checked against any real process.

Machine identifiers (NX-220, EL-180, …) and all numeric parameters are fictional scenario settings and correspond to no real production line, equipment configuration, or trade secret.

The author strongly advises against using this dataset — or any model trained on it — to drive, recommend, or automate real machine control, process parameters, maintenance decisions, or safety interlocks without independent qualification by a responsible engineer.

5. Transparency advisory

When quoting or redistributing these dialogues, please identify them as LLM-generated synthetic text rather than records of real human-machine interaction. See also EU AI Act transparency obligations for synthetic content, where applicable to you.

中文說明

本檔案為告知性質，記錄資料來源、上游條款與使用建議。 其內容不對 CC BY 4.0 之授權附加任何條件 —— CC BY 4.0 §2(a)(5)(B) 禁止 下游附加限制，本文件亦無此意圖。

1. 資料來源：30 情境／325 輪全為 gemma3:27b 生成之合成內容，無真實 對話、真實工廠事件或個人資料。

2. Gemma：依 Gemma 使用條款 §1.1(e)「Outputs 不視為 Model Derivatives」 及 §3.3「Google 不主張 Outputs 之權利」，本資料集全部為 Outputs，故 §3.1 之 散布條件不及於本資料集。著作人已依 §3.2 於生成時遵守 Gemma 禁止用途政策。 惟若您以本資料集微調出表現近似 Gemma 之模型，該模型本身可能構成 Model Derivative 而受完整 Gemma 條款拘束；若是在其他 base model 上微調製造領域能力， 則屬另一情形。請於散布前自行評估。

3. 情境靈感來源：30 個情境中有 20 個標註了啟發該情境之瑕疵類別所出自 的公開學術資料集。未重製或改作任何來源之文字、影像或標註，僅使用事實性 類別指涉，故不生 ShareAlike 義務。來源對照見上方英文表格。若您直接取用 該等來源，仍須依其各自授權。

4. 安全提醒：對話中的參數值為合成示例，非經驗證之工程指引；機台代號與 數值均為虛構情境設定。著作人強烈建議：未經負責工程師獨立驗證，不要將本 資料集或以其訓練之模型用於驅動真實機台控制、製程參數、維修決策或安全連鎖。

5. 透明性提醒：引用或再散布時，請敘明其為 LLM 生成之合成文本。
