Paradigm shift for machine learning
Snorkel’s technology has been used to unlock new ML use cases in healthcare, criminology, and journalism and to power mission critical AI applications for Fortune 500 enterprises such as Chubb, Genentech, Google, and more.
Snorkel is a fundamentally new interface to ML without hand-labeled training data

For many practical applications, it’s now more productive to hold the neural network architecture fixed, and instead find ways to improve the data.

Founder and CEO, Landing AI
Combining weak supervision and reinforcement learning enables Al systems to learn which actions can solve for which tasks. The result is a high-quality dataset and an optimized model.

Snorkel DryBell: Tackling content classification at Google
Snorkel was used to create classifiers of comparable quality to ones trained with tens of thousands of hand-labeled examples, convert non-servable organizational resources to servable models for an average 52% performance improvement, and execute over millions of data points in tens of minutes.

Cross-modal data programming
Snorkel yielded models that on average perform within 1.75 points and 10.3 ROC-AUC of those supervised with physician-years and -months of hand labeling respectively while using only person-days of developer time and clinician work—a time saving of 96%.
