Founded in 2017, the company sells a software as a service platform that uses a combination of machine learning and human input for training and labelling data to power an organisation’s artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
AI depends on large amounts of data to train the underpinning algorithms. This data needs to be structured and labelled to ensure it results in the desired output, yet many organisations struggle with poor data quality.
According to research by AI training firm Alegion, 96% of companies run into problems with data quality.
Dataloop’s platform can also be used by enterprises while their AI is in production, feeding data back in real-time where humans can oversee the results.
