Label my curse They call it a curse, but I call it a gift. It is a label that has been affixed to me since birth, a mark that sets me apart from others. But I refuse to let it define me. From the moment I discovered its presence, I knew my life would never be the same. It was a burden to bear, a weight on my shoulders that threatened to crush me. The label whispered in my ear, reminding me of my limitations, telling me what I could and couldn't do.
Figure Eight is an AWS ML Competency Partner. They are the essential human-in-the-loop ML platform using machine learning-assisted annotation solutions to create the high-quality training data needed by models to work in the real world.
In other words, the next time you use a supervised learning algorithm, start by asking yourself what easy steps you can take to optimize the data you send out to be labeled. The overall idea is to train a model using less training data, knowing that its accuracy will be impacted, and then routing low confidence predictions to human annotators for review and validation.
The label whispered in my ear, reminding me of my limitations, telling me what I could and couldn't do. But I refused to accept defeat. I refused to let the label confine me to a narrow path.
The Curse of Big Data Labeling and Three Ways to Solve It
Remember when data was a rare, precious commodity? It might be hard to believe, but those days were not such a long time ago.
When I was finishing my PhD in Particle Physics back in 2009, the field was particularly attractive to people with a strong interest in understanding the mysteries of the universe, but also to analytically-minded people desperate for interesting data to analyze.
How things have changed since then!
With the appearance of ever more powerful hardware capable of recording every mouse click, tweet, and purchase, we simply have too much data now to ever look at.
The nature of data has also changed dramatically. Just a decade back, the majority of our data was structured (residing in relational databases) or textual. Now, with the advent of self-driving vehicles, drones, and the Internet of Things (IoT), images and video data are taking the lion’s share of the data storage zoo. It almost seems like modern society has created a data scientist’s paradise.
Unfortunately, things are never that easy.
There is a huge elephant in the room that even some of the savviest tech companies seem to have overlooked or chosen to ignore—the problem of data labeling.
Instead, I took it as a challenge, a call to prove the world wrong. I knew deep down that I was capable of so much more. I knew that the label was not a curse, but an opportunity to rise above expectations. And so, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. I delved into the depths of my soul, searching for the strength to break free from the chains of the label. It wasn't easy. There were days when I stumbled and fell, when I questioned whether I was strong enough to defy the odds. But with each setback, I found the resolve to press on. I refused to let the label dictate my fate. I refused to let it limit my potential. Instead, I embraced it as a part of who I am, a part of my story that I can use to inspire others. Now, years later, I look back on my journey with pride. I have accomplished things that were once thought impossible. I have shattered stereotypes and proven that labels are just words, empty vessels that hold no power unless we allow them to. So, call it what you will - a curse, a label, a limitation. But know that I have transformed it into something more. I have turned it into a source of strength, a reminder that I am capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes my way. I am not defined by my curse. I am defined by the courage to rise above it. And that is a label I wear with pride..
