AI needs an open labeling platform

Machine learning has proven to be very efficient at classifying images and other unstructured data, a task that is very difficult to handle with classic rule-based software. But before machine learning models can perform classification tasks, they need to be trained on a lot of annotated examples. Data annotation is a slow and manual process that requires humans to review training examples one by one and giving them their right labels. In fact, data annotation is such a vital part of machine learning that the growing popularity of the technology has given rise to a huge market for labeled data.
