Annotating Images for Machine Learning Models 5 Common Misconceptions


Annotated Images for ML algorithms  

Image annotation is pivotal to the success of Machine Learning model. Machine learning and AI are ushering in: • Fully autonomous vehicles • Unmanned drones • Improved facial recognition Image annotation has lot of misconceptions around it.

Let’s clear the myths to attain accurate image annotation and high-performing AI and ML models.


Debunking 5 Common Myths for Image Annotation 1. AI can annotate as efficiently as humans 2. Sacrificing pixel accuracy is acceptable 3. In-house annotation is easily manageable 4. Crowdsourcing is a viable option to scale 5. Data once annotated holds valid forever


AI can annotate as efficiently as humans Misconceptions

Facts

 Cost saving

 High-implementation cost

 Faster execution

 Progressive evolution

 Great accuracy

 Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) is must


Sacrificing pixel accuracy is acceptable Misconceptions

Facts

 Pixel is just a dot

 A single pixel accuracy matters

• Single pixel manipulations don’t affect quality  Doesn’t affect model performance

• E.g. medical imaging, autonomous vehicles  Affects model training


In-house annotation is easily manageable Misconceptions

Facts

 Just a repetitive work

 A task that grows and requires

 No AI expertise required

• Knowledge

 Can scale easily

• Technical expertise • Experience  Outsourcing essential to scale


Crowdsourcing is a viable option to scale Misconceptions

Facts

 Numerous annotators are

 Anonymous labelers affect scalability

available

 Annotators need not

 Annotators remain till project-end

• Be domain experts

 Guarantees fast and quality work

• Familiar with your use case  Quality is not an accountability


Data once annotated holds valid forever Misconceptions

Facts

 Data properties don’t change

 In future, annotated datasets hold

 Annotated datasets are valid forever

• Invalid or • Partially valid  Data properties are subjective
