Translation, Documentation, and Annotation Achievements

Strengths of Human ScienceFeatures

• 
  Defining the requirements that determine a project's success

  There are various types and methods of annotation for developing AI models for autonomous driving. The tools and file formats used can vary greatly. Our project managers utilize their experience and knowledge to propose the best annotation methods. Through consultation and consensus with our clients, we define each requirement and solidify the necessary work processes to achieve project success.
• 
  Utilizing the latest data annotation tools

  At Human Science, we are constantly introducing the latest data annotation tools to further improveme and uphold the quality. With the latest tools, our clients can check progress and review deliverables after the project has started, and real-time communication with data annotators allows for immediate consideration and dissemination of any additional standards or rules during work progression. Additionally, by using the check function, detecting omissions or other common mistakes can be automated.
• 
  Offshore project operations also available

  To develop AI models for autonomous driving, a huge amount of training data is necessary. In order to secure the maximum amount of data within cost limitations, our company has the option of utilizing overseas resources at offshore locations. We are also able to provide English support from temporary workers, enabling smoother project progress. Even for offshore projects, management tasks like interfacing with the client and providing quality control are handled in Japan. We offer high-quality data annotation equivalent to domestic services but at a lower cost.
• 
  Complete information security

  Our company uses the tool AnnoFab, which allows us to build systems that cannot save data on local machines. It also allows work location restrictions by limiting IP addresses. When sharing data in the cloud, we support the use of highly secure services such as Amazon S3 and other services contracted by our clients.

  They passed the trial.
  Our contracted data annotators stay engaged.

  Human Science does not outsource work through crowdsourcing, but instead directly contracts with reliable data annotators. While crowdsourcing may seem cost-effective at first glance, it can lead to inconsistent quality and unexpected cost overruns, due to additional revisions and verification work.
  When hiring data annotators, we always conduct interviews and trials. Even after a project has started, we ensure thorough communication to share important points and clarify any ambiguities, resulting in high-quality annotation.

Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ

I am worried about whether we can get the right personnel to work on the project.

At Human Science, we verify the content of the work before starting a project, and we assign personnel that are a good fit. By assigning resources that are directly contracted by our company, we form effective teams that utilize the aptitude and experience of each member.

I am worried that the members working on my project will change every time, because the work is intermittent. Can we keep the same project manager and team members assigned to this project?

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

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

That's no problem. We can handle your requests by using the secure room at our Shinjuku office, which has cleared ISMS standards, or station a resident employee at your facilities. For large-scale projects, we have even arranged dedicated work facilities. >>Achievements and Case Studies CASE 03
