Introducing Taskflow: Faster, easier data annotation with Prolific
At Prolific, we’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of research and AI development. The latest update to our platform—Taskflow—makes it faster and easier to annotate large datasets for your AI projects.
What is Taskflow?
Taskflow breaks down large datasets into smaller, manageable tasks for multiple participants to annotate at the same time.
Key features:
- Batch processing: Break down vast datasets into smaller units, making them easier to annotate.
- Customizable task distribution: Create unique URLs for each dataset segment and specify the exact number of annotators for each task.
- Automatic reallocation: If a participant doesn’t complete a task, Taskflow automatically reallocates it to someone else, meaning you always get the necessary number of responses for each task.
5 reasons to use Taskflow for your data annotation projects
- Speed: With multiple participants working on smaller units at once, you can annotate data much faster.
- Mitigate bias: Taskflow distributes tasks among annotators from diverse backgrounds. This ensures a richer, more balanced dataset.
- Flexibility: Taskflow gives you complete control. With configurable URLs, you can tailor allocations to fit your study's precise demands.
- Optimize costs: By splitting large datasets into smaller tasks, you can estimate costs more accurately and manage budgets more effectively.
- Enhance AI performance: With even task distribution, you can gather diverse, representative annotations that will improve real-world decision-making for your AI models.
Build the next generation of AI, faster
With Taskflow, we invite you to experience a new level of efficiency and control in your work. Whether you’re conducting complex behavioral studies, developing cutting-edge AI, or seeking insights through data analysis, Prolific offers the tools and support you need to succeed.
