A Little About Us

We are a global service organization providing human evaluation and diagnostic services including content analysis and insights, testing and training data, and product quality optimization.

A Lot About You

As Content Analysts and Knowledge Engineers, we do human evaluation, content management, data analysis, training data development and evaluation for tuning models, taxonomy and tagging systems, and other information management projects for Yahoo-branded products and applications. Through structured data extraction processes, we transform unstructured data in non-semantic HTML pages into structured data using internal tools and workflows. That transformed structured data helps Yahoo create products that enhance and personalize user experiences.
