Wow, what a year for Toloka — and it's all because of you! Thank you for growing with us as we build better technologies for ML and a stronger community. Here are the highlights, plus a few juicy tidbits we can't resist sharing.
Word of the year: acceleration
Just look at these numbers:
600Mtasks were completed by our Tolokers — that's 10X the number of articles on Wikipedia!
6Mof these were side-by-side comparisons of images, videos, texts, and audio recordings
1.1Mlocations visited by Tolokers doing field tasks — that's like going to every single building in New York City!
15adaptive ML models released on our new podium and lots of other product improvements that you’ll find on our changelog
Fun fact: Have you been through our onboarding process? Your guide is our product manager, Roman Gaev
Our community grew
The community is growing strong and we’re excited to see all the new faces alongside the familiar ones! Here’s how the community grew:
+4500new members
+40events across the globe: USA, UK, Switzerland, Germany, Israel, Turkey, China, Pakistan
2000people in attendance
Fun fact: There is one community member who didn't miss a single event. We can’t name them for privacy reasons, but we are seriously thinking about a perfect attendance award for next year! Maybe even the ML Oscars 🏆
We schooled y’all
Education? You asked and we delivered! Everything from basic guides to advanced deep dives, and all the latest on how real businesses are finding new ways to use Toloka. The facts:
Toloka Crash Course and Toloka Certification went live
Fun fact: The Education team has its own Saraswati goddess of use cases. Polina Smirnova has thousands of them in her head waiting to be shared in 2023. Stay tuned!
Science is still #1
