About Centaur Labs
Centaur Labs helps AI developers and data scientists label medical and scientific datasets at scale, so they can more quickly and easily build and improve their models. Our gamified approach allows us to deliver data labels with unprecedented speed, scale, and quality: we collect 2 million+ annotations weekly from our network of 20k+ medical doctors, students, and other professionals on our secure, HIPAA compliant platform. And we don't just trust one person - we intelligently combine multiple opinions and only compensate top performers to generate labels of the highest quality.
Instead of having to choose between the high cost of hiring physicians or the low quality of crowdsourced/blended teams, we offer an alternative that leverages collective intelligence and performance-based incentives.
Our technology, developed by researchers at MIT, collects multiple opinions per case with labelers competing against each other for cash rewards. This process ensures that quality assurance is baked into the process since the labelers are incentivized to perform at the highest level on every case analyzed.
Centaur Labs offers industry-leading accuracy, affordable pricing, and very low management overhead on the part of the client since all engagements include a dedicated customer success manager.
We're backed by Matrix Partners, Accel, Y Combinator, Susa Ventures, and Global Founders Capital (among others) and are well versed in working with researchers, startups, and large corporations.
