Data annotation process

The annotation lifecycle

Image, video, 3D, LiDAR, audio transcription, text annotation and LLM evaluation, each with its own labeling workflow and QA layer.

Image annotation

Bounding boxes, polygons, polylines, keypoints and segmentation masks for object detection and segmentation.

Video annotation

Frame-level and temporal labeling for action recognition, tracking and video understanding.

3D and LiDAR

Cuboid and point-cloud annotation for autonomous systems and robotics.

Audio transcription

Verbatim transcription, speaker diarization and speech labeling for ASR and conversational AI.

Text annotation

Named-entity recognition, intent and slot tagging, classification and sentiment for NLP and LLM programs.

LLM evaluation

Prompt-response labeling, ranking and human feedback for large language model evaluation.

Lifecycle stages

From schema to delivery

01
Schema

Taxonomy and guidelines

Label taxonomy, attributes and annotation guidelines defined with the client.

02
Calibrate

Pilot batch

Pilot on hardest edge cases; guidelines sharpened from real disagreement.

03
Annotate

Trained annotators apply labels under reviewer oversight.

04
QA

Multi-level review

Annotator, reviewer and senior QA with sampling and rework loops.

05
Deliver

Validated dataset

Accepted labels and metadata delivered securely to the client.
