Almost nothing in human history has ever moved at this frenetic pace. AI and all its related fields, gadgets and gadgets that is. It is absolutely breathtaking. If it is already frighteningly fast to watch its progress from the US, imagine what it feels like to watch it unfold from the technological distance of Argentina, South America. Hear me out. It seems like science fiction has taken over the planet. Damn my luck, this industrial revolution does not come with a Victorian Steampunk ingredient. At least I would have had a glimpse of aesthetic candy for my eyes and mind.
So again, we don't get to choose how our industrial revolutions (or do we?) unfold. We can go either way: sit on the sidewalk and ride it out, like a tornado on a Kansas morning. Or we can saddle up and flow with wordpress web design agency these brutal new tidal waves. So, I'm guessing, "let's go!"
A New Kid on the Tech Block: Data Annotation
Machine learning models, the heart and soul of AI, are filled with massive data sets. In order for these data sets to be useful and actionable, they need to be organized, classified, labeled, and perhaps even tweaked a bit. Algorithms need polished data sets so that they can in turn take in this now-organized information in order to learn from it and, as a result, produce more accurate predictions.
So, the actual process of Data Annotation involves labeling data so that it is no longer confusing or misleading. Machine learning models use annotated data to learn from it, regardless of the format or type of data. We “annotate” data by adding tags, labels, or metadata to the raw data. For example, the following are some of the elements that can and need annotation: text, images, audio, and video.
Without properly annotated data, it would not be possible for advanced machine learning models to interpret and understand any real-world scenarios. Their algorithms rely on massive volumes of labeled data to correctly identify patterns and then make “somewhat informed” decisions.
Data Annotation Types
There are several types of data annotations, each suited to a specific type of data and application. Each type of annotation plays a critical role in training machine learning models to perform tasks like language translation, object detection, and speech recognition. Side note: I’ve seen an AI robot folding laundry somewhere in Asia, but I don’t feel like I’m quite there yet.
For example, when training a model to recognize objects in images, annotators must provide thousands of images with labels indicating what each object is. This allows the model to learn the features that distinguish different objects. Consequently, this training will help the model recognize objects in extrapolated scenarios.
In a similar way, for text-based models, annotators tag sentences with sentiment labels so that the model can then understand and predict those sentiments in new data. Some of these labels could be positive, negative, neutral, or others.
Audio annotation is vital for speech recognition systems. Transcribing speech involves converting spoken words into written text, and this can be applied to virtual assistants and transcription services, to name a few. In the same area, speaker identification labels can be added to different audio segments based on who is speaking, which is quite useful in scenarios such as meeting transcription.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) models can learn from annotating linguistic features like syntax and grammar. For example, tagging words with their respective parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.) helps the model understand the sentence structure. This is especially true in a language like English. It can definitely prove a bit trickier in Spanish, due to all the literary licenses used when writing poetry, for example.
The area of named entity recognition (NER) includes the identification of proper names within text, such as people, places, and organizations. This is a fundamental feature for applications such as chatbots and search engines.
