[D100] Data Annotator (contractor)
You will perform the critical roles of (i) searching for, compiling, and curating video and image datasets, and (ii) annotating these datasets to identify certain objects, actions, activities, and scenes of interest.
Example projects include searching YouTube for videos containing pre-defined actions (e.g. criminal activity captured by surveillance cameras), identifying types of objects and actions present in images and recording matches in a spreadsheet, and drawing spatio-temporal bounding boxes around objects in images and videos.
The annotated data that you collect is used for a variety of core business purposes and is key to our success!
Qualifications:
- Ability to understand high-level instructions and implement them systematically to achieve a goal.
- Proficient with word processing and spreadsheets (Google Docs and Sheets).
- Proficient with mouse-based web interaction.
- Good time management skills; ability to work effectively without direct supervision.
- Interest in curating datasets for computer vision and machine learning models; no prior experience in computer vision or machine learning is necessary.
- Willing and eager to learn!
Requirements:
- Internet-connected computer with modern web browser required; you will work from home with no requirement to go to the Voxel51 office.
