Data Annotation Tech

Image Data Labeling for Computer Vision Models

Data Annotation TechImageBounding BoxSegmentation
Contributed to large-scale image annotation projects at Data Annotation Tech, focusing on improving object detection and image classification accuracy for AI-powered systems. I applied bounding boxes and segmentation masks to label thousands of industrial and vehicular images used for model training. The resulting dataset powered a deep learning model that achieved a 20% improvement in classification accuracy and reduced misidentification errors. Quality was maintained through multi-stage verification, achieving 98%+ labeling precision. I collaborated with AI engineers to align annotation categories with model training objectives and ensure consistency across datasets.

Image and Text Data Labeling for AI Model Training

SamaImageBounding BoxEntity Ner Classification
Led and contributed to multiple large-scale data labeling and annotation projects at Sama. Tasks involved creating high-quality labeled datasets for computer vision and NLP models. For image data, I applied bounding boxes and segmentation techniques to identify objects and scenes, achieving a 20% improvement in image classification accuracy for a production-level deep learning model. For text data, I performed entity recognition, intent classification, and chatbot response evaluation to enhance GPT-based conversational AI systems resulting in a 50% reduction in escalation rates. Each project adhered to rigorous quality assurance standards, including double-blind reviews and accuracy benchmarks above 98%. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure annotation consistency and ethical data handling in alignment with international standards.
