This comprehensive course is a hands-on guide to developing and maintaining high-quality datasets for visual AI applications. Learners will gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills in: discovering and implementing various labeling approaches, from manual to fully automated methods; assessing and improving annotation quality for object detection tasks, including identifying and correcting common labeling issues; analyzing the impact of bounding box quality on model performance and developing strategies to enhance label consistency; use advanced tools like FiftyOne and CVAT for dataset exploration, error correction, and annotation refinement; addressing complex challenges in computer vision, such as overlapping detections, occlusions, and small object detection; implementing data augmentation techniques to improve model robustness and generalization; and applying concepts like sample hardness and entropy in the context of model training and dataset curation. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on exercises, students will learn to create, maintain, and optimize datasets that lead to more accurate and reliable visual AI models.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
