CrowdFlower partnership with Microsoft brings power of 'human-in-the-loop' to machine learning - The Fire Hose

A new "human-in-the-loop" product debuted at the Microsoft Machine Learning & Data Science Summit through a partnership with CrowdFlower, a popular platform that allows data scientist teams to use large-scale human intelligence to enrich and label their data. These human-in-the-loop workflows combine human intelligence and Microsoft Azure Machine Learning. Businesses benefit from the efficiency of machine learning and the quality of human judgments. Machines can automate a majority of the work, while humans can assist when the machine is uncertain. Head over to the Cortana Intelligence and Machine Learning Blog for an overview of what human-in-the-loop is, when and where it can be used, and the opportunities ahead in this area.
