Seongnam-si, Promotes Big Data Non-Face-to-Face Job Project

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will launch a non-face-to-face job project in the big data field, becoming the first local government nationwide to do so in line with the government's Korean New Deal policy direction.

Seongnam City announced on the 22nd that it will select 50 young people (aged 18-34) by the end of next month and conduct a four-day specialized labeling training for processing and verifying big data at the Traffic Big Data Center on the 8th floor of City Hall, after which they will be deployed to practical work.

The practical work will be conducted remotely from September 1 to December 31 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Participants will label 80TB (terabytes) of autonomous driving and CCTV data assigned as a project by Seongnam City using their own PCs.

Labeling is the task of annotating the correct answers for data that artificial intelligence (AI) will learn from.

It involves creating boxes on AI training images that classify vehicles and people, indicating whether the object is a vehicle or a person.

The labeling data will be accumulated as utilization data at Seongnam City's Traffic Big Data Center.

A city official explained, "For AI to automatically recognize images, a large amount of labeled training data is required," adding, "This job is suitable for providing young people capable of computer work with an opportunity to grow into big data professionals."
