Labelled by Hand

Labelling means people mark what can be seen in a picture. That is how they teach an AI to spot things.

Step 1 of 4

What you'll learn in this level

  • That people label the learning pictures by hand
  • Why exact labels matter so much
  • How much work sits inside an image AI

How an AI Gets Its Examples

Labelling means people mark what can be seen in a picture. That is how they teach an AI to spot things.

It is like with a small child. You point at something and say: "That is a cat." One day the child spots the cat alone.

How Labelling Works

  1. Collect pictures

    First you collect thousands of pictures. They have to show what the AI should learn.

  2. Label

    People draw boxes around the things. Then they write what it is. Car, person or tree, for example.

  3. Train

    The AI looks at all these pictures. That way it learns the patterns of each thing.

  4. Check

    At the end we test it with brand new pictures. Does it get the things right there too?

Here you try labelling yourself. That way you help an AI learn.

Guess first, then experiment

Millions of pictures to learn from. Who tells the AI what is in them?
