Help ML teams label the right data

About

When ML teams send their data to companies like Scale.ai for labeling, most can only afford to label 1% or less of their datasets. But today they don’t have a good way to pick which 1% to label. We help them pick the best 1% of their data to label. By labeling the most representative data, they significantly improve model accuracy at the same cost.
