The Curious Case of Data Annotation and AI - RTInsights

And for in-house teams, labeling data can be the proverbial bottleneck, limiting a company's ability to quickly train and validate machine learning models. By its very definition, artificial intelligence refers to computer systems that can learn, reason, and act for themselves, but where does this intelligence come from? For decades, the collaborative intelligence of humans and machines has produced some of the world's leading technologies. And while there's nothing glamorous about the data being used to train today's AI applications, the role of data annotation in AI is nonetheless fascinating. Imagine reviewing hours of video footage – sorting through thousands of driving scenes, to label all of the vehicles that come into frame, and you've got data annotation.
