CrowdFlower expands to help companies implement machine learning

CrowdFlower, a company that helps customers build AI systems by providing them with training data, announced today that it's getting into the business of helping companies implement machine learning. While many companies are trying to incorporate AI and machine learning to further their business, there's a dearth of talent out there to help them get started. That's where CrowdFlower wants to come in, by providing support to get companies moving along the right path. "We're constantly being asked by our customers to give more guidance and play that trusted mentor role," CrowdFlower CEO Robin Bordoli said. "[Companies will say] well, we're thinking about the overall project, can you give us guidance on the overall project, not necessarily just the training data piece?'"
