Strengths of Human ScienceFeatures

  Wealth of experience in natural language processing

  To create training data for natural language AI development, a sufficient background of knowledge, experience in related fields is required. Human Science was founded in the business of natural language, though fields like translation and technical writing, over 35 years ago. Since 2007, we have been ahead of the industry by starting our machine translation business, and we have extensive experience handling many projects that involve morphological analysis and speech analysis for translation model creation, as well as OCR. Even for projects that other companies may find difficult, we will respond to your requests by utilizing our comprehensive knowledge and experience. Please be sure to consult with us for more information.

  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.
• 
  Multilingual annotation support

  At Human Science, we not only handle data annotation in Japanese, but in multiple other languages, too. Utilizing the resources we have cultivated through our translation business, we are able to build teams that can handle work in multiple languages at any time. Our project managers, who oversee the management, have experience handling projects in various fields while directly communicating with engineers and annotators in English.
• 
  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
