CrowdFlower, now known as Figure Eight, is a company that specializes in using artificial intelligence (AI) and human-in-the-loop to train, test, and tune machine learning models. The company was founded in 2007 by Lukas Biewald and Chris Van Pelt, and it has since grown to become a leading provider of data enrichment and annotation services.
Figure Eight’s platform allows companies to access a global workforce of over 5 million contributors who can perform tasks such as image and video annotation, sentiment analysis, and data categorization. These tasks are essential for training machine learning models, which require large amounts of labeled data to function effectively.
