01What ASV supplies
People who know, not only people who label.
Every expert in the pool answered the same nine-step application: where they live and grew up, their languages and how well they speak them, their education, their work, their expertise, their setup and when they can work.
- 01
Native speakers
Fluent speakers of African languages and their regional varieties, and of the other languages the pool speaks well, with their level and their dialects.
- 02
Domain experts
People who do the work for a living, and the degrees behind it. The application asks for up to five areas of expertise, strongest first.
- 03
Local knowledge
People who live in, or grew up in, a particular country, to judge names, money, places and speech the way a local would.
- 04
Task authors
Experts who author tasks that challenge frontier AI, as in the projects ASV has run.
Areas the application asks about
- Software and computing
- Data and AI
- Mathematics and statistics
- Natural sciences
- Medicine and health
- Engineering
- Business, finance and law
- Social sciences and humanities
- Language and writing
- Creative, voice and audio
02How a project runs
From your brief to the people doing it.
- 01
You tell ASV what you need.
The task, the expertise or languages it calls for, the countries that matter, how many people, and when.
- 02
ASV finds the people.
ASV’s admins search the pool on those answers (expertise, languages, country, availability, setup) and read the profiles that fit.
- 03
Each expert opts in.
ASV tells the people who fit what the project involves. Each decides whether to take part, and whether you may see their profile.
- 04
ASV runs it with you.
The people who said yes do the work, under terms agreed for the project.
03Consent
Experts opt in, client by client.
No client sees an expert’s profile, CV or contact details unless that person agrees to it, for that client. The rule comes from ASV’s privacy policy, and it holds on every project.
It also means the people on your project chose it, knowing what it involves.
