Produkte und Services
Quality Match verifies and improves the quality of datasets for computer vision and machine learning. Das Unternehmen bietet folgende Kerndienstleistungen:
Datenqualitätsprüfung
- Dataset architecture (are my dataset and taxonomy good?)
- Measure the quality of annotation providers (is the quality as advertised?)
- Evaluate model performance (when does the model fail?)
- Supervise model-drift (is the model still working?)
Quantitative Metriken
We focus on creating actionable, quantitative metrics on dataset quality, such as: - representativeness (bias analysis) - accuracy (labels, detection rates and geometric properties of annotations) - and ambiguity (edge cases due to bad data or bad taxonomies).
Plattformen
- HARI, which is a semi-automated user interface for data curation, annotation, and model analysis of vision-based datasets
