In the last 10 years, AI and ML models have become bigger and more sophisticated — they’re deeper, more complex, with more parameters, and trained on much more data, resulting in some of the most transformative outcomes in the history of machine learning. While effective, attention mechanisms have poor (i.e.,

Data annotation, or the process of adding labels to images, text, audio and other forms of sample data, is typically a key step in developing AI systems.
