I am worried if we can have the right personnel to work on the project.

At Human Science, we verify the work content before starting a project and assign personnel that are suitable for its characteristics. By assigning resources directly contracted by our company, we achieve effective team formation that utilizes the aptitude and past experiences of each member.

I would like you to deliver a part of the deliverables in the early stages of the project.

Yes. We will respond. At an early stage, we will review the actual deliverables and proceed with the project after confirming that there are no discrepancies in the definition and interpretation of the work requirements. Below is an explanation of the overall flow of the project.

Is it possible for me to also participate in the cloud using the annotation tool used for work?

Yes. It is possible. We can issue an account for you to check the progress and provide feedback during the project. Real-time communication with the project manager and the assigned staff is also possible.

I am worried that the participating members will change every time because it is an intermittent project. Can we have the same project manager and team manager assigned to this project?

Even in intermittent projects, the same members are generally responsible for the work. This also applies to the Project Manager. We utilize knowledge and skills gained through experience to achieve stable project operations with high quality.

For security reasons, we would like to request on-site work instead of remote work.

Yes. We will respond. We will respond to your requests such as using the security room at our Shinjuku office, which has cleared the ISMS standards, and resident at customer facilities. In large-scale projects, we have also arranged dedicated work facilities. >>Experience and Case Studies CASE03

We would like you to use the same annotation tool that we have been using in our company so far.

Yes. We will respond. We will also flexibly respond to tools that have not been introduced in our company so far. We can also provide support using VPN. Please consult with us first.

Do you use crowdsourcing for hiring data annotators?

Human Science does not use crowdsourcing. Our reliable data annotators, who have been directly contracted by our company, will be in charge of the work. We always conduct interviews and trials when hiring. We place particular emphasis on providing continuous security education to our workers and managing productivity and quality.

I would like to proceed with the project in English. I also want to operate all work manuals, tools used, and feedback after the work has started in English. Is this possible?

Yes. We will respond. We will organize the team with personnel who can understand and operate in English as it is. It is possible to proceed with the project just like in Japanese without spending time or cost on translation.

Is it possible to do data annotation for foreign language natural language processing?

Yes. It is possible. We will utilize the resources and experience we have gained through our translation and localization business to provide support. We have experience in creating teacher data for English and Taiwanese. Please contact us for more information.

Offshore projects are concerned about work quality.

At Human Science, even for offshore projects, we conduct project management similar to domestic projects. Customer alignment and quality control are handled in Japan. Communication with on-site personnel is also directly handled by our project managers in English. We are able to provide high-quality training data that is comparable to domestic production.

Can I consult with the project manager and communicate even after the actual work has started?

Yes. We will respond. We offer meetings and feedback opportunities according to your requests. We also offer the use of Slack or Teams.

Can we only request training for data annotators as we have staff who can handle the work but no one to train them?

Yes. We will respond. Our project manager will educate the data annotators after mastering the work requirements. We can accommodate your requests such as remote, on-site at our facility, or on-site at your facility. We will utilize our experience of handling numerous projects, ranging from small teams to 150 people, to meet your needs.

Due to the high difficulty of the task, not only the person in charge of the work, but also the management team needs to receive training before starting. Is it possible to handle this?

Yes. We will respond. Our Project Manager will attend training before starting work. We will respond to your project in various ways, such as remote, customer environment, and using our security room.

Can you extract necessary parts from a video as an image?

Yes. We will respond.

Is it possible to request data cleansing?

Yes. We will respond.

This is a medical project. Is it possible to have a doctor supervise it? 

Yes. It is possible. We will respond individually depending on the content and field of expertise.

Could you please prepare the necessary documents for applying for the subsidy?

Yes. We will respond. We can handle company information, estimates, delivery notes, etc. in the format of your choice.

Please tell us about Human Science's quality management standards and project management system.

At our company, we operate a management system based on ISO9001 and PMBOK. Starting with the requirements definition at the beginning of the project, we conduct project reviews at each phase with all stakeholders, including the project manager, to respond to changes in specifications during the project, check the quality of deliverables, and reflect on the project after final delivery. We will meet the quality requirements of our customers with a thorough management system from the beginning to the end of the project.

Is it possible to handle anonymous processing information?

We will respond according to the case. We disclose the items included in the anonymous processing information on our website under "Company Information" -> "Information Management" -> "Regarding Anonymous Processing Information".
