Join the live discussion. Learn how to unlock data-centric AI and make AI development practical in your organization

Working with vast unstructured and unlabeled data is one of the bottlenecks in the machine learning lifecycle. Machine learning models can only get as reliable and accurate as the data being fed to them. With a data-centric approach 1, your data science and MLE teams save valuable time, resources, and effort by focusing on the data itself.At Snorkel AI, we are going all-hands into making data-centric AI the new and better way of rapidly building and deploying AI applications. With state-of-the-art weak supervision and programmatic labeling approaches, Snorkel Flow aims to meet every data need of your organization, multi-class text classification, named entity recognition, and more.We are excited to announce The Future of Data-Centric AI event, set to take place on September 28, 2021, from 9 AM to 3 PM PDT. Join the conversation at a free, one-day virtual event hosted by Snorkel AI. We will bring together some of the best minds in data-centric AI from academia, research, and industry to explore the shift from model-centric practices to a data-centric approach (also referred to as Software 2.0 2) to building and deploying AI applications. Save your seat, and join us to discuss challenges, solutions, and ideas to make AI practical, both now and in the future.Some topics that will be covered are:

  • The latest data-centric AI research
  • MLOps and data-centric AI
  • The future of weak supervision

Confirmed Speakers:

The Future of Data-Centric AI live virtual summit will have Alex Ratner, Andrew Ng, Anima Anandkumar, Ce Zhang, Chelsea Finn, Dario Garcia-Garcia, Roshni Malani, Micheal D'Andrea, Xu Chu, James Zou, Sharon Li, Chris Re and many more!

Whether you are just getting started with data-centric AI, are an advanced practitioner, or are just curious about the new way of building AI applications, this event will help you deepen your understanding the approach, and its applications.  RSVP today and save your seat.If you’re interested in staying in touch with Snorkel AI, follow us on TwitterLinkedInFacebookYoutube, or Instagram, and if you’re interested in joining the Snorkel team, we’re hiring!

Enterprise environments and training AI agents for real-world workflows
Most agent benchmarks still evaluate a thin slice of the job. The agent receives a task, produces an answer, gets scored, and the episode ends. Enterprise workflows work differently. An underwriting agent may need to read policy documents, inspect customer records, call internal tools, ask a simulated user for missing information, update state, and follow approval rules. A correct final

Milestone-Based Evaluation and Training for Long-Horizon AI Agents
Long-horizon agents are outgrowing pass/fail evaluation. A short task can be scored as one outcome. A longer workflow is different. The agent may plan correctly, navigate to the right place, call the right tool, and still fail during execution. A final failure score does not show which phase broke. Training has the same shape of problem. Reinforcement learning for long-horizon

Agents’ Last Exam: AI Benchmarking for Real Work
At our latest Snorkel AI Reading Group, Yiyou Sun and David (Xinyang) Han (UC Berkeley, Center for Responsible and Decentralized Intelligence) presented Agents’ Last Exam (ALE) — a benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on long-horizon, economically valuable, real-world tasks with verifiable outcomes. ALE is a collaboration between Berkeley RDI, Snorkel AI, and 300+ expert contributors across 55 professional subfields. ALE asks a deceptively simple question: can
