Twigfarm (CEO Baek Sun-ho) announced that it has been selected as an organization to carry out the "Artificial Intelligence (AI) Learning Data Construction" project organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and promoted by the Korea Information Society Agency.

The project will be organized by Twigfarm, a natural language processing research company, and carried out in close cooperation with a consortium of: ICT testing and certification (TTA), AI translation and translation service "Naver Papago", translation company "Lexcode", and social enterprise "FNJ".

This project is expected to contribute to improving the level of AI translation in the future by securing high-quality source data specialized for each field, such as technical science and social science, which was lacking in the existing AI learning data construction project. Based on natural language processing know-how, Twigfarm, the organizer, develops cloud-based authoring tools, translators in specialized fields, and corpus utilization services, and discloses and provides them to various channels.

The Twigfarm Consortium plans to help create stable jobs and train professionals by hiring 200 new professionals and socially disadvantaged people to carry out the project.

Twigfarm CEO Baek Sun-ho said, "Twigfarm has abundant experience and know-how in AI translation solutions through deep learning-based natural language processing (NLP) technology. Through this project, we will do our best to contribute to the development of AI and natural language processing."
