Cord

Hey Product Hunt! We're the creators of Cord 👋 You probably have a bunch of stuff to do today, so we will be super brief. 🙋Problem The biggest bottleneck in computer vision AI right now is not the compute power, the number of parameters in the models, or the number of intelligent data scientists, it’s the ability to create usable labeled training datasets to feed the models. This is the blocking element holding us back from building applications to solve some of the hardest problems we are facing today. 💡 Solution That’s why we built Cord, a platform that can automate the data annotation process for computer vision use cases. We use a toolbox we call “micro models” to break up the annotation process into smaller parts and let AI do most of the work. Our platform has helped build datasets for computer vision applications that include the diagnosis of cancer, detection of people in danger in construction sites, and management of small business inventories. 🔥How does it work? 1. Define your label structure or “ontology.” This is the set of “questions you are asking the data”. Cord allows you to create arbitrarily complex label structures and dynamically adapt them throughout the course of your projects. 2. Do a handful of manual annotations. Sometimes even just 4 hand labels are enough to start “teaching” the system what you want to annotate. 3. Build a micro model. It takes less than 5 minutes to get your first model trained and running. 4. Run the model, review the predictions, and retrain. You are now in an active learning loop! 5. Repeat as necessary. Build as many micro models as you need to cover your labeling. 6. Once the labels are set, use Cord’s SDK to create a data pipeline. You now have a working dataset ready for your model! The platform’s visualization features will also help you detect biases and imbalances in your dataset through the process. To get started come talk to us! We are offering a special deal where we are giving out 5 hours of free human annotation to the first 5 people that sign up with us through Product Hunt.

I like Cord.

Seriously great stuff! Would've loved this in my previous gig where I was managing a team of computer visions experts who were always starving for properly annotated data sets.

Cord is great! I can't recommend Ulrik and Eric and their fantastic product enough. Congrats on the launch!

Love it! Do you know what % of automatically created labels requires manual revision?

This is awesome, I know so many healthcare orgs that have been trying to clear this hurdle in their own AI application building efforts. Have you worked with any healthcare use cases yet?

Been following the team, and I trust they are doing something people want :)
