Scale AI launches rapid data-labeling service

Amid the boom of AI in application building, companies face a significant data-labeling problem, especially when it comes to labeling images or other media content they want to train deep learning algorithms on. Today data-labeling and infrastructure provider Scale AI launched a service called Scale Rapid that aims to solve this problem by labeling a data sample within one to three hours. Users can review the work to make sure the labeling is being done correctly, iterate upon their labeling instructions if necessary, and then ramp up to have Scale AI label the rest of their dataset. This is the latest in a series of products Scale AI has launched in the last year as it seeks to maintain its leadership in the labeling sphere. In April, the company raised $325 million, bringing its total raised to over $602 million.
