Client overview

The client is a global technology leader specializing in internet-based services, including search, advertising, software, and hardware. With operations spanning multiple continents, they needed a partner capable of scaling multimodal data pipelines, delivering domain-specific annotations, and ensuring model readiness for generative AI use cases.

Business Needs and Objectives

To support next-gen generative AI capabilities, the client needed a partner who could deliver precise, domain-specific data annotation at scale, particularly in the high-stakes domain of medical AI. Challenges included sourcing qualified medical experts, ensuring consistent annotation standards, and maintaining compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and regional health regulations.

In parallel, their visual search systems required massive multimodal image data curation across diverse domains such as art, shopping, and medicine. This demanded not only volume but multilingual, culturally aware tagging and annotation to enhance global AI models for image and text alignment.

The overarching goal was to build a scalable, high-quality data pipeline that supports rapid iteration and deployment, across both medical and visual AI systems, while ensuring governance, accuracy, and speed.

The Client wanted to:

  • Ensure compliant, expert-led annotation workflows for sensitive medical data.
  • Curate culturally aligned, multilingual visual datasets across global markets.
  • Establish scalable feedback-driven pipelines to support continuous model training.
