Crowdsourcing of AI data and assignment of tasks to experts
Modou is an AI data crowdsourcing and expert service platform under ByteDance. On one end, it connects large models that require high-quality training data; on the other end, it connects individuals with professional backgrounds.
The types of tasks available on the platform include the evaluation and optimization of large-scale models using the RLHF approach, data annotation in specialized fields, the collection and evaluation of multilingual speech data, as well as the production of video and creative content. Participants mainly come from industries that require professional judgment, such as healthcare, law, film and television, and linguistics. The tasks also include scenarios that involve real-person participation, such as conversations in dialects or industry interviews.
The way to accept orders is quite flexible. After completing the task, you simply need to verify the settlement amount, and the platform will transfer the funds directly into your personal wallet. You can request a withdrawal at any time. For new users, there is a comprehensive process ranging from training and trial writing to being guided by dedicated personnel, allowing you to get familiar with the rules before starting official work.
From another perspective, it also serves as a window through which we can observe the changing demands associated with large-scale model training. The types of tasks being offered on the platform roughly reflect the kinds of data that models currently lack the most.
It is suitable for those with professional backgrounds who wish to turn their domain knowledge into tangible value, as well as for those who want to understand how the actual process of AI data production operates.
