Quality

Our ADAP platform and skilled project management capabilities use multiple quality control methods and mechanisms to meet and exceed quality standards for training data.

Speed

Our platform and services are purpose- built to handle large scale data collection and annotation projects, on demand. Our platform's built-in MLA optimizes throughput and with deep expertise, planning, and recruiting to meet a variety of use cases, we can quickly ramp up new projects in new markets.

Scale

With a crowd of over one million skilled contributors operating in 170+ countries and 235+ languages and dialects, we can confidently collect, and label the high volumes of images, text, speech, audio and video data needed to build and improve AI systems.

Security

We provide multiple secure platform and service offerings, secure, remote and on-site contributors, on-premises solutions, secure data access offerings and ISO 27001/ ISO 9001 accredited secure facilities.

Top Use Cases for Automotive AI

Autonomous Vehicles

Vehicles need to understand large volumes of data, such as identifying a tree or pedestrian, listening for commands, assessing outside changes to the environment, and then feed that back into the car’s AI.

Voice and Speech Recognition

Connected cars that are trained on large-scale speech data collection can provide customers around the world with the best in-car infotainment experience.

Understanding and Predicting Behavior

Connected cars, using advances in voice recognition, LiDAR, and cameras, need to have the ability to identify user intent, as well as their words—so they can tell when users are happy or frustrated, and respond accordingly.

Single Data Collection and Annotation Pipeline

Automotive teams can leverage our full suite of multimodal computer vision annotation tools, as well as in-cabin vehicle collection, and NLP annotation services and combine them in an automated process with workflows within the Appen platform to:

Break complex projects down into simple jobs, then automatically route data between the jobs using configurable routing rules

String multiple jobs or models together in a branching or linear configuration

Leverage machine learning in workflows to offset costs and expedite project completion

Secure Data Access

Data security requirements are met for customers working with personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and other sophisticated compliance needs.

Enterprise-level security to protect sensitive client data

Secure Crowd

We offer a suite of secure service offerings with flexible options to ensure data security via secure facilities, secure remote workers, and onsite services to meet specific business needs.

Enterprise-level security to protect sensitive client data

Secure Facilities

We have sites in multiple geographies to support projects with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive data, as well as the right people, policies, and processes in place for a range of security levels, up to government level certification.

Enterprise-level security to protect sensitive client data

Secure Workspace

With our ISO 27001 accredited remote Secure Workspace solution, our global crowd can work on your sensitive projects remotely, without having to access a physical secure facility. This allows the diversity of our remote crowd to reduce bias and support multiple languages even through global disruptions.
