The data that trains artificial intelligence systems is what makes them good. Breakthrough algorithms frequently get all the attention, but high-quality labeled data is what makes every production-grade model work. But turning raw, chaotic data into training sets that are clean, accurate, and balanced is not easy at all.
We at Intellisane AI Ltd are experts at solving the hardest annotation challenges for computer vision, natural language processing, audio, and multimodal applications. Below, we break down the ten problems we run into the most and the specific processes, tools, and talent tactics we employ to solve them.
"Is that expression a smirk or a polite smile?""Should this tweet be labeled as 'sarcastic' or 'humorous'?"
The challenge Even experienced annotators can become stuck in gray regions when it comes to natural language, facial expressions, and images that are specialized to a certain field. Disagreements cause noisy labels, which in turn degrade the accuracy of the model.
Our solution We invest a lot of money into consensus labeling, pilot rounds, and gold-standard criteria. Every project starts with workshops involving client SMEs and our in-house research team to gather edge cases and examples of borderline circumstances. Next, we
The challenge As the number of objects goes from thousands to millions, little mistakes add up. It's not practical to check every label by hand, but clients still want 95–99% correctness.
Our solution We built a three-tier QC pipeline:
Live dashboards keep track of precision and recall for each labeler, which makes teaching possible right when it's needed. When metrics change, our automated notifications can retrain or reassign tasks in a matter of hours, not days.
The challenge If they aren't represented enough, rare but important cases, like stop sign obstructions for self-driving cars or pathological anomalies in medical pictures, can change how a model works.
Our solution We use active-learning loops, where preliminary models highlight low-confidence frames that are full of edge cases. Our professional annotators subsequently sort these frames. This method gets minority classes 3–5 times faster than random sampling and cuts annotation costs by up to 40%.
The challenge Doing the same thing over and over again makes people less focused. When annotators look at bounding boxes for eight hours straight, their accuracy goes down.
Our solution A mix of best practices for people ops and ergonomic platform design:
Result: accuracy stayed above 97% for shifts that lasted many hours.
The challenge Roadmaps for products change quickly. A model launch that needs a lot of data can need ten times as many labels as it did yesterday.
Intellisane AI, Our solution, has a pool of more than 100+ in-house annotators who can start working within 24 hours. Our internal workflow engine splits datasets into smaller pieces and runs jobs at the same time across teams that are spread out over different parts of the world. It uses Bangladesh's GMT+6 time zone to interact with clients in both the EU and the US.
The challenge SaaS products often fail to address complex needs such as 3D LiDAR cuboids or pixel-perfect semantic segmentation.
Our solution We made our own annotation platform with modular plugins:
The challenge Clients in healthcare, banking, or the military can't afford to have their data leak or not follow the GDPR.
Our solution Security is baked into every layer:
The Challenge part Most general vendors don't have the particular knowledge needed to label things like Arabic voice commands, Bangla social media sentiment, or oil and gas engineering diagrams.
We have developed a Solution Intellisane AI offers support in multiple languages and extensive knowledge in certain industries worldwide. Experts in more than 20 languages and fields of study make up our decentralized network of annotators.
Fast and cost-efficient execution is made possible by our core delivery hub in Bangladesh, and we fulfill the linguistic, cultural, and technological challenges across regions—from Europe to the Americas to Asia-Pacific—with a global workforce.
The challenge Labeling expenses that keep going up can stop AI projects long before the models are ready for production.
Our solution, which leverages Bangladesh's low costs and automation (such as pre-labeling and AI-assisted QA), can save you 30–50% compared to vendors in more expensive areas, all without sacrificing accuracy.
The challenge Labeling is not something you do once and then forget about it. Data from the real world changes with time; models get worse.
Our solution We embed human‑in‑the‑loop retraining cycles:
This tight feedback loop keeps model F1 scores within ±2 pp of the baseline, even when the input distributions change.
There are many problems along the way from raw data to deployable AI, but none are too big to handle with the appropriate partner. Intellisane AI uses strict processes, its own technologies, and a large pool of talented people to provide reliable annotations on time and within budget.
