In a bid to position the state as a go-to destination for high quality data annotation services as part of its thrust on developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem, theTelanganagovernment has inked anMoUwith Bengaluru-basedTika Datafor setting up a data annotation cluster in the state.
As part of this agreement, Tika Data is expected to set up three centres, most likely in Jakranpalle, Armoor and Dichapalle mandals of Nizamabad district, and train and employ over 100 local people. Data annotation is nothing but the categorisation and labelling of data for AI (artificial intelligence) applications. The growth of the data annotation industry is driven by the growth of AI/ML based solutions because the quality of the AI/ML model is dependent on the quality of training data, Telangana government said on Thursday while announcing the MoU.
The partnership was the result of a data annotation roundtable conducted by the Telangana governments Telangana AI Mission (T-AIM) initiative that is powered byNasscom.
