We humans have powerful senses. We have the ability to see, comprehend, analyze, react, interpret, and judge. The mistakes we make are either due to negligence or lack of awareness.
But, not the case for machines or rather, AI-based models.
Why Data Labeling is the trigger in the gun for AI-based models
AI-based models are highly dependent on accurate, clean, well-labeled, and prepared data in order to produce the desired output and cognition. These models are fed with bulky datasets covering an array of probabilities and computations to make its functioning as smart and gifted as human intelligence.
To substantiate the power of data labeling, I’m going to now walk you through some interesting scenarios.
