Automated data labeling with LLMs and humans

Build the ideal data pipeline with LLMs, our trained crowd, and experts for optimal price, quality, and throughput

Who is labeling your data?

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

Tap into Toloka's AI expertise to design a data labeling strategy for your next project

Quality. LLMs perform on par or better than humans in some

tasks, but need guidance.

Speed. LLMs can offer better throughput, but may need fine-

tuning.

Price. LLMs might be cheaper or more expensive than manual

labeling, depending on the project setup.

We leverage machine learning and human expertise for optimal speed and quality

Toloka has the know-how
to apply LLMs, domain
experts, and data quality
controls exactly where you need them.

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

Outdated pre-training dataset

Task type:

Product similarity

Issue:

New products or new brands

Reason:

LLMs hallucinate about things they were not trained on

LLMs incorrectly interpret slang and shorthand

Task type:

Data cleaning

Issue:

Typo correction

Reason:

LLMs aren't trained to understand all languages equally well

We find the best language model for your task and support it with human input for reliable results
