We started the Snorkel project at the Stanford AI lab in 2015 around two core hypotheses:

Over the past year, we’ve worked hard to deliver Snorkel Flow, the first AI platform to provide all the power of machine learning without the pains of hand-labeling. Snorkel Flow lets you label data programmatically, train models flexibly, improve performance iteratively, and deploy AI applications quickly. We are incredibly proud of the value that our customers, including two of the…

AI is already transforming the business of government. But the positive impacts of this transformation, from increasing the efficiency of public services to enhancing the effectiveness of tax dollars, are still in the earliest stages. Public sector organizations generally have access to the same talent, software models, and hardware infrastructure as any private sector company, but they face a number of relatively unique practical challenges that hinder their operationalization of AI.

We are inventing a new way to build enterprise AI applications. Taking a data-centric approach, we are making machine learning iterable, faster to deploy, and ultimately more practical.That is a fantastic opportunity, but it also presents one of our biggest challenges – figuring out how to bridge the gap between developers at the vanguard of machine learning and business leaders…
