What is Data Annotation?
Data annotation is the essential process of labelling raw data – images, videos, text, or audio – to transform it into structured, machine-readable information. Adding meaningful tags and labels ensures that AI models are trained to understand and interpret data accurately, driving precise predictions and smarter decisions. High-quality data annotation is the key to unleashing the full potential of AI.

What Is Audio Transcription and How Does It Relate to Data Labeling?
Audio transcription is the process of converting unstructured audio data, such as recordings of human speech, into structured data. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms require structured data to perform various tasks involving human speech, including speech recognition, sentiment analysis, and speaker identification. In short, audio transcription is fundamental for teaching computers to understand spoken language.
Bounding Boxes in Computer Vision: Uses, Best Practices for Labeling, and More
Bounding boxes are rectangular region labels used for computer vision (CV) tasks. In supervised machine learning (ML), an object detection model uses bounding box labels to learn about the contents of an image. The bounding box labels objects or features of interest to the model, whether a person, traffic sign, vehicle, or virtually anything else.
What Is Polygon Annotation and How Does it Work?
Polygon annotation is an essential labeling technique for supervised computer vision (CV). Objects are labeled with polygon annotations to create a dataset, which is fed into a supervised CV model. The model learns from the annotations, enabling it to predict and classify objects when exposed to new, unseen data. The physical environment primarily consists of complex shapes with non-linear edges – polygon annotation is considerably more effective at labeling them when compared to bounding boxes, which include a lot of useless information.
What is Video Annotation for AI?
Computer vision (CV) was formerly focused on identifying and classifying information from still images but has now evolved to respond to complex video data. Video annotation has emerged as a critical component for developing AI applications that understand and respond to visual data in motion. In this article, we will explore the concept of video annotation, its applications, and the challenges of this complex form of data annotation.
