Data quality is crucial for AI/ML projects because the quality of the data used to train and test a model directly affects its performance and accuracy. Poor quality data can lead to biased or inaccurate predictions, while high-quality data that is diverse and accurate can lead to more accurate and reliable models. For example, in the the healthcare industry incomplete or inaccurate data can be collected due to missing or incorrect information entered by healthcare providers or patients.
It’s not only about the quantity of data, but also about its quality. Diverse datasets that are continuously validated from the production environment can enable organizations to create machine-learning models that constantly learn and adapt to new situations.
In order to help counter this, we recommend implementing our data-centric technology stack that includes an AI-assisted data annotation platform, data management, and automation and pipelines that can help you reach your current goal. Read on to find out how this data-centric technology stack can help.
Dataloop’s Data-Stack Ensures Data Quality Made Easy
AI-Assisted Data Annotation Platform: Creating precise, accurate, and repeatable annotations are key to quality data.
With Dataloop, our platform uses:
- AI to help ensure your annotations are precise and accurate which is critical for creating high-quality data sets.
- AI-assisted annotation, the platform can ensure your annotations are repeatable and consistent across different sources, and systems, this can help improve the overall quality of the data.
- Human-in-the-loop allows for human validation of the annotations, which will further improve the accuracy and completeness of the data.
- Automated annotation workflows can be utilized to automate the annotation process which can help speed up the data preparation process and reduce the risk of errors.
Data Management Platform: A single, secure data management system designed for visualizing all of your unstructured data and seamlessly integrating it with your existing cloud storage.
With Dataloop, our platform can:
- Automatically discover and inventory data across multiple sources and systems, providing a comprehensive view of all the data an organization has.
- Connect to data warehouses and tools with easy-to-use drivers for searching, tagging, annotating, and training data.
- Search, edit, and query data by item info, metadata, annotation status, and much more.
- Perform data quality checks to ensure that data meets certain quality criteria, such as completeness, accuracy, and consistency.
- Monitor the data and provide real-time visibility and alerts for potential issues.
- Pre-process data with FaaS to allow for data quality checks and validation to be performed before the data is used by the machine learning model. By detecting and addressing data quality issues early on in the process, it reduces the chances of the machine learning model being affected by poor-quality data.
Automation & Pipelines: Dataloop’s solution makes it possible for organizations to create custom data automation pipelines using a no-code drag-and-drop interface or through a developer-friendly Python SDK, weaving together human labeling tasks and machine learning workflows.
With Dataloop, our platform can:
- Automatically validate data to ensure that it meets certain quality criteria, such as completeness, accuracy, and consistency. This can help to ensure that the data being used in AI/ML projects is of high quality.
- Standardize data to ensure that it can be easily compared and integrated with other data to ensure that data is consistent across different sources and systems, which can improve the overall quality of the data.
- Monitor the data and provide real-time visibility and alerts for potential issues. This can help to identify and correct any issues with the data, and ensure that it remains accurate and up-to-date.
- Monitor the active learning loops by weaving in human labelevers into the QA process.
- Automate seamlessly by integrating our platform with your existing ML models.
- Automation allows you to reduce error rates, encourage repeatability, and speed up your ROI.
Keeping the Human in the Loop
To overcome data quality challenges, we recommend implementing our data-centric technology stack, which includes AI-assisted data annotation, data management, and automation and pipeline solutions to ensure your data quality is ensured and easy.
Dataloop is able to accelerate machine learning projects, by adding human validation in an exceedingly continuous loop, improving the likelihood of success when shifting the model out of the lab and seamlessly transferring it to the real world.
This was seen clearly when Foresight, a leader in the autonomous vehicle industry (AV) partnered with us. Their biggest challenge was that they were working manually, and were limited in their ability to validate a high level. With Dataloop, they were able to scale their team, and verify the quality and consistency of their labeling outputs.
