Data annotation and enrichment. It's really about tagging basically, or enhancing unstructured data. So it could be visual data, it could be text data. It's about adding additional attributes. And the reason why that's important is, number one, you either are Training a model to perform in some ways on a self driving car is pretty clear. You need to recognize lanes, you need to recognize traffic signs, you need to recognize pedestrians and other vehicles to do things like collision avoidance. It also can be used to validate that your model's performing properly. You need to know what does good look like, how is your model performing against what the expectations are? And oftentimes, in a number of cases, it's not just about capturing the right sort of class or the right descriptions. It can be enriching that data.
