TaskUs, Inc, a leading provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to the world’s most innovative companies, and V7, a leading training data platform, announced their strategic partnership today.
TaskUs and V7 are combining their expertise in AI and data annotation to optimize training data creation for AI product development at some of the world’s biggest technology companies.
With a proven track record in supporting enterprise retail, healthcare, and asset management industries, the collaboration between V7 and TaskUs offers customers accelerated training data delivery, reduced production costs, and turnkey enterprise solutions.
Accelerating training data delivery
The partnership aims to slash development cycles and enable enterprises to launch AI products significantly faster. The integration of TaskUs’ teams of expert annotators, adeptly trained on V7’s latest AutoML stack for swift annotation and iteration looks to achieve rapid progression on all projects in a true human-in-the-loop approach.
Reducing costs of training data production
TaskUs is training its teams of subject matter experts to accelerate training data delivery using V7’s model-assisted labeling stack. This approach minimizes the ramp-up time for a customer’s engineers, consequently mitigating the costs associated with wasted data production— a common cause of spiraling AI budgets.
