Why I changed my mind about weak labelling for ML

When I first heard about weak labelling a little over a year ago, I was initially sceptical. The premise of weak labelling is that you can replace manually annotated data with data created from heuristic rules written by domain experts. This didn't make any sense to me. Over the past year, I've had my mind completely changed. Since I now have the zeal of a convert, I want to explain what weak supervision is, what I learned and why I think it complements techniques like active learning for data annotation

What is Human-in-the-Loop AI?

Human-in-the-loop AI is an automation approach which removes many problems of machine learning development and deployment. It means you can quickly deploy a working model, with less data and with guaranteed quality predictions. That sounds magical, but in this post we'll explain what HITL is and how you can make use of this approach in your own AI projects.

Why you should take a data first approach to AI

Machine learning systems are born through the marriage of both code and data. Academia mostly focuses on ways to improve the learning algorithms, the *how* of machine learning. When you come to build practical AI systems though the data-set you're training on has at least as much impact on performance as the choice of algorithm.

What is an active learning platform?

Data first ML Ops needs new kinds of tools. An Active Learning platform is a single tool that combines data annotation, model training and deployment in one continuous process.

Measuring Active Learning performance in the real world

Humanloop worked with Black Swan Data, a company at the forefront of applied NLP, to test our active learning platform. Humanloop was able to save at least 40% of the labeling normally required whilst improving performance

Humanloop + Hugging Face 🤗 = the fastest way to build custom NLP

You can now train any Huggingface model on your own data just by labeling and curating a small portion of that data, with early access to our Humanloop - Hugging Face integration. Label your data and we'll give you an API to your model, trained on your own data

Why you should be using active learning to build ML

Data labeling is often the biggest bottleneck in machine learning. Active learning lets you train machine learning models with much less labeled data. The best AI-driven companies, like Tesla, use active learning.

John R.
Chartered Legal Executive

John works at one of the UKs largest legal firms. He’d been tasked with labelling over 35,000 contracts into various categories - not a fun job. But with help from Humanloop, he was able to build and train an AI model that automatically orgsanised the contracts into the correct category with a 98.7% accuracy. He completed the task in under two days, which would usually have taken over 200 hours - that’s a happy John.
