Labeling Experience

Agricultural Drone Image Labeling for Crop Health Analysis

ImageSegmentation
Through TELUS International, I worked on annotating drone imagery for precision agriculture. Tasks included segmenting crop regions, classifying healthy vs. diseased plants, and tagging soil conditions. The datasets were large-scale, often exceeding 30,000 samples, and required careful attention to detail due to subtle visual differences. I used SuperAnnotate and internal tools, and participated in weekly calibration sessions to ensure consistency across annotators. This project supported AI models that help farmers optimize yields and detect early signs of crop stress.

Text Sentiment and Intent Classification for Customer Support AI

TextSegmentation
As part of an Appen project, I labeled customer support transcripts to train NLP models for conversational AI systems. My role involved tagging sentiment (positive, neutral, negative) and identifying customer intent (e.g., billing issue, technical support, cancellation). The dataset included over 50,000 text samples. I collaborated with QA reviewers to refine ambiguous cases and contributed feedback to improve annotation guidelines. This project helped enhance chatbot accuracy and reduce response times for client companies.

Image Annotation for Retail Inventory Models

ImageBounding Box
Contracted through Scale AI, I annotated thousands of product images to train object detection models used by major retailers for automated inventory management. Tasks included drawing bounding boxes around items, classifying product categories, and flagging mislabeled samples. I worked with datasets exceeding 20,000 images, using tools like Labelbox and Scale’s internal platform. Quality checks were frequent, and I consistently maintained accuracy above 95%.
