All data-driven solutions today start with the ingestion (input) of data. Typically that data is messy and unlabelled. However, downstream consumers of data benefit from well-labelled data. Data labelling (assigning categories, data types, privacy and sensitivity tags, source characteristics, etc.) is usually an error-prone, time-consuming, manual effort. There are no readily available off-the-shelf tools that […]
