AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology has made an eye-opening process in past few years. We are getting familiar with products that talk and we are not surprised by search engines, shopping apps and social media suggesting products we are likely to buy. Praise aside, experts say that AI technology still has a long way to go in order to reach a satisfactory level as many errors and tendencies are being reported. 

Marvellous data production of Testworks

“Errors and tendencies of AI can affect consumers and businesses negatively. In other words, it must needs a thorough test and verification.” emphasizes Dale Yoon, CEO of Testworks. The company has a strong presence in AI data test and verification and is the possessor of the nation’s first unmanned AI data processing knowhow. Its capability has been proved by successfully building numerous large scale AI data sets by the ambitious team of experts in the field. While ‘aiworks’, a data collection and processing platform, collects unstructured data such as images, videos and texts, ‘blackolive’, a data automation-processing-management solution, processes it into AI training data; then ‘ADQ(AI Data Quality)’ in collaboration with AI data experts carries out test and verification for the final result of high quality data. 

Marvellous data collection of Testworks

In order to build an AI model, collecting data is a prerequisite. Testworks collects simple data on ‘aiworks’ and complicated and refined data by filming. Public institution’s network data or crawling tools are also used time to time. The collected data goes through ‘blackolive’ for auto-labeling and de-identification and the final quality is secured by its meticulous data processors and correctors. “The collecting and processing tools we developed minimize time and cost and they help us build large and high quality data sets. The labelling requires various attributes of objects to be discerned and it is efficiently done by ‘blackolive’. ADQ especially provides the information on procedures, management, test, verification, results and statistics at one-go and we call this as ‘the optimum tool of data quality test and verification’.” explains Dale Yoon. One more thing Testworks deserves to be proud of is that their capability of building optimized data for algorithm learning and AI models. This requires reference building ability of the models and Testworks has it.
