Data Preparation Services An Optimized Solution for Every Type of Business

18 Jul 2021

Did you know that, on average, a Tesla car generates 2-5 terabytes of data every week?

Each car contains 8 cameras that collate different types of information ranging from GPS, traffic, weather, object map to other connected cars’ data.

That’s not even the interesting part...

In just the second quarter of 2021, Tesla sold 210,250 units. Just imagine the amount of data generated — 2-5 terabytes* 12 weeks* 210,250 cars. It’s mind-boggling, right?

Tagging, annotating, and labeling this data manually is nearly impossible. This is where data preparation solutions come into play. Data preparation is nothing but helping organizations working in AI/ML space to get their models right, scale rapidly, and get the right outcome for wherever the models are deployed.

First, let’s try and understand how AI/ML models work and how data preparation solutions can help.

Decoding the Science Behind AI and ML Models

AI and ML models work based on the data fed into these models to train them. But, how do you get this data that trains the AI and ML models? Let’s understand by taking an example.

You must be familiar with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. These assistants listen to your requests and respond with suggestions to assist you. NLP (Natural Language Processing) is the backbone that supports these applications, designed to augment human interactions. NLP takes human utterances and converts them into data that a machine can understand. Further, this data is fed to the machine learning algorithm so that these assistants can respond to your requests.

Interesting, right? Read on to find out how data preparation services provide solutions optimized according to business purposes.

E-Commerce Industry

E-commerce websites like Amazon and Flipkart have a massive amount of unstructured data that needs to be labeled.
For instance, the website needs to curate a catalog containing 100,000 pictures of models wearing different categories of clothes ranging from a solid shirt, printed t-shirt to trousers, and chinos, etc.
These 100,000 images need to be tagged based on features like colors, sizes, gender, etc. A data preparation platform leverages computer vision and bounding boxes to annotate and label these images. Once these images are annotated and labeled accurately, they are used to train the AI/ML models of Amazon to improve customer experience by showing relevant search results.
The reason these AI and ML models run efficiently is data preparation solutions.

Automobile Industry

Obviously, cameras and sensors present in the vehicle collect data of the road conditions, process it, and make decisions. But how do these vehicles detect objects or interpret images?
The answer - By leveraging various AI and ML models.
But who integrates these objects or images into the AI/Ml models? If you think about it, there are hundreds of cars, people, bikes, and bicycles on the road, each with different shapes and sizes. How can a company manually label all these images or videos? This is where a data preparation platform comes to the rescue.
The objects in an image are tagged using different attributes and bounding box coordinates. When it comes to videos, it is broken down into frames, and then objects in those frames are tagged. This labeled data is then fed to the AI/ML algorithm that classifies it into vehicles, human beings, or any other unidentified object on the road, allowing self-driven cars to make road-safe decisions.

Not just e-commerce and automobiles, data preparation solutions have successfully assisted almost every industry to leverage labeled data and train their AI/ML models, achieving maximum efficiency.
