people realized the thankless work of making a dataset
was at the core of AI research.”

But at a certain point, that approach stopped being as
effective and attention turned to the data instead
“20% of activities are
automatable by AI advances
in areas like visual object
recognition. - McKinsey
“87% of applied ML projects
never make it to production”
- Gartner
A small group of teams emerges
succeeding with applied ML due
to a data-centric approach.” -

AI Consensus Scoring
Using Bayesian Neural Networks and Confident Learning to check every label at least twice
Edge cases are reviewed by a human. The results generate quality reports.
Our AI checks the data for a variety of
error types.

The decision to add humans-in-the-loop depends on your place in the AI lifecycle: incubation,
scale training, or production. When you’re ready - here are four things to consider:
Criteria for selecting the right HITL
#1
#2
#3
#4
Use case experience
Flexibility (new use cases, speed, etc)
Workforce management technology
Ethics and risk management
