Special Session on Advanced AI-based Data Annotation Tools (AI-DAT)

Scope

The past, present and future of artificial intelligence (AI) is closely linked to the efficient preparation and quality of data, which directly influences the performance of algorithms such as artificial neural networks. The allocation of resources to data annotation currently represents approximately 80% of investments in AI-based solutions, highlighting the strategic importance of research into advanced data annotation tools and their alignment with industry trends. Research on advanced data annotation tools is essential to improve the efficiency and quality of the data preparation process, as well as to address everyday technological challenges related to diverse information sources. 

The session is proposed by SIGMA Cognition and the Applied Artificial Intelligence Group (GIAA) from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. SIGMA, as a company specialized in data annotation services, recognizes the strategic importance of this task. Through its SIGMA.AI and SIGMA Cognition units and the collaboration with GIAA, SIGMA plays a key role in the development of artificial intelligence-based data annotation tools. The special session "Research on advanced AI-Based data Annotation Tools" as a result of the SIGMA Cognition project HADA (Herramientas de Anotación de Datos Avanzadas) center in the research of AI techniques in annotation tools search for new developments in this area. This session aims to share and discuss new research on AI tools and algorithms in a data annotation framework, with the goal of creating advanced tools that optimize the collection of high-quality data more efficiently and accurately than existing tools. The session will also include the participation of the Signal Processing Applications Group (GAPS) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, which has closely collaborated with Sigma in the research and development of audio annotation processes.
