These do seem interesting, thanks for sharing.

Also, what do you mean by "participatory" in the context of machine learning? Is there a seminal paper that defines it?

I ask as in HCI and other fields, participatory had a VERY defined meaning that in short, I'd about equal power, democracy, and inclusivity. I can't understand how that applies to ML and would like to learn more, hence asking you.

I think "participatory" means something similar here within an ML context. It favors building community-based algorithmic systems and focuses on lowering the barrier to participation, so that non-expert users can be involved during the machine learning development cycle.

I'm not aware of any seminal papers per-say, although here are a few that I've read recently... first one is something I maintain at $DAYJOB:
