Research Assistant for AI Language Data Collection

26th June to 25th July
Participate in live research by helping to annotate newly created datasets as part of ongoing AI training projects at MMU. Work in-person and remotely to discuss guidelines, deliver high quality annotated data and review work from peers.

This opportunity is part of an ongoing research project to train AI systems. You will gain insight into research and data collection methods and have an impact in a cutting-edge and exciting field.

In-person sessions will run on Thursday afternoons from 2pm-4pm in the Dalton Building starting on the 19th June until 17th July. More information will be provided post-sign-up and your time spent on this work can be flexible. Participants may continue to work remotely on annotations after attending an in-person session.

Each session will focus on a different annotation task and more data for each task will be available to complete after the session. Students may choose how to distribute their time across tasks to earn RISE points. In total, the expectation is for students to spend 20 hours over a 5-week period (~4 hours per week, including in-person sessions) on annotation tasks.
