We’re Teaming up with IBM to Make High-Quality Training Data More Accessible Than Ever

.21.09.2018

Our product Integration with Watson Studio means researchers can now access high-quality training data to train, test, and build models all on one platform.

Today marks another huge product milestone here at DefinedCrowd; I’m very excited to announce our product integration with IBM’s Watson Studio. A lot of hard work went into my being able to type those lines this morning, all well worth it for us and our end-users. With DefinedCrowd’s data solutions embedded within Watson Studio, customers can now source, structure, and enrich training data directly from the Watson Studio.

From a logistical perspective, users will be able to set up DefinedCrowd’s customizable data workflows through a dedicated user interface unique to the Watson Studio, the goal being to offer a seamless, one-stop solution for researchers looking to build, train, and test AI models all on the same platform.

In addition to more accessible data, we’re also providing users with quality guarantees that will ensure high-performing results. We’re launching this collaboration with two of our most in-demand workflows, Image Tagging, and Text Sentiment Analysis. It’s crucial that these sorts of datasets are sourced and delivered with precision and accuracy, as we’ve detailed in our series on data labeling. Earning a tech giant like IBM’s trust in handling such critical workflows is a real testament to our work so far.

It’s been a treat to work alongside IBM during this process. A product integration like this doesn’t just increase our exposure externally. Internally, we also get a chance to really examine our core product offerings and focus on how they can be expanded and improved. My team is hard at work on exactly that, and we can’t wait to share all the things we’re building with you. I promise you’ll be hearing from me again very soon.

This integration with IBM fits with an emerging pattern of joint initiatives between various tech leaders and DefinedCrowd. Earlier this year, we were chosen as an official Amazon Alexa Skills partner, and we’ll be announcing another big collaboration later this year. Joint efforts like these are an enormous part of our efforts to improve our product offerings to serve a wider array of clients.

We’re ambitious here. Our goal is— and always has been— to stake our claim as the first-choice service provider for high-quality AI training data. Product integrations like this one with IBM are massive for expanding our product capabilities—always my number one priority— and diversifying our client roster. We’re well on our way on both fronts.

So, if you’re an IBM Watson Studio user, we’ll be right there to help the next time you’re building an image recognition or text sentiment analysis model.

Not a Watson Studio customer? Or, need something other than image tagging and sentiment annotation services?
