Who is labeling your data?

LLMs now offer a powerful data labeling option, but the decision to use LLMs isn't straightforward.

How Toloka optimizes data labeling pipelines with LLMs

  • LLM-boosted 
    human data labeling

    LLM offers suggestions 
    for human annotators

  • LLM data labeling 
    with human assistance

    Humans label edge cases 
    not handled by LLM

  • Human evaluation 
    of LLM annotation

    Humans perform selective evaluation 
    of LLM annotations

LLMs need human oversight

Here are just a few examples of data labeling challenges for LLMs

Ambiguous tasks

  • Task type:Search relevance
  • Issue:Ambiguity in "reasonably well" type of instructions
  • Reason:LLMs often have different logic from humans
Image

Outdated pre-training dataset

  • Task type:Product similarity
  • Issue:New products or new brands
  • Reason:LLMs hallucinate about things they 
    were not trained on
Image

LLMs incorrectly interpret 
slang and shorthand

  • Task type:Data cleaning
  • Issue:Typo correction
  • Reason:LLMs aren't trained to understand 
    all languages equally well
