Crowd Flower is now Figure Eight

Formerly Crowdflower has been renamed Figure Eight, with a new web presence.  Impressed by what I have seen there so far.   Putting humans in the loop of machine learning ...

" .... Figure Eight is the essential Human-in-the-Loop AI platform for data science and machine learning teams. The Figure Eight software platform trains, tests, and tunes machine learning models to make AI work in the real world.

At Figure Eight, we believe that AI’s three essential ingredients are training data, machine learning, and human-in-the-loop technology. We pride ourselfvesin providing every component necessary to make AI work in the real world.

Training data is the fuel for machine learning, where humans guide the algorithms by labeling data for the algorithms to build their knowledge. You can read about how we approach training data in our Definitive Guide to Training Data. Human-in-the-loop processing allows the feedback loop between humans and machines to be as optimal as possible, whether that’s finding the right raw data to annotate through Active Learning, or selecting the right annotation interfaces and quality controls for accurate and efficient human input.

The most important problem we face in technology today is how humans and machines and work together to solve tasks. These breakthroughs will be vital in many of the use cases we power today, whether it’s the obvious cases today like autonomous vehicles and AI-powered assistants, to the future technologies that we are supporting in areas like healthcare and agriculture. ....
