About

Based in Tokyo, Japan, founded in 2010, Baobab is a company that provides creation services using large scale, multilingual AI learning data for clients such as those with disabilities etc. The company began as a service that could offer the extremely large volumes of textual learning data needed for machine translation faster and at a more reasonable price. In 2014 the company released an updated version of “Yoko’s Yummy Recipes”, an iPhone/Android translation application designed specifically for translating recipes. "BAOBAB" is a website designed to create translations and linguistic data by cooperating as a group and using machine learning in order to broaden communication and services all over the world. In 2015 the company started offering image annotation and tagging (they have developed a special in-house tool for image annotation, ensuring speedy and accurate results), image captioning and voice transcription. Moringa is a mobile app released in 2016. It enables Baobab staff all around the world to collect and tag images, and collect multilingual speech, utterances/sounds. In 2018 the company started offering region definition and feature point annotation for images. The company can also provide bilingual scenarios in multiple languages. It can provide data for dialogue scenarios, read aloud by native speakers, and simulated conversations between 2 speakers, speaking freely on a predetermined setting. The company develops machine translation engines specialized for particular areas, and provide these as an API. Baobab undertakes everything from the creation of learning data, to the development of machine translation engines, and human-powered evaluation of the resulting translations. Baobab America Inc. was established in 2018.
