Active is tightly integrated with Encord Annotate, with Active and Annotate being hosted by Encord.

Encord Active is active learning solutions that help you find failure modes in your models, and improve your data quality and model performance.

Use Active to visualize your data, evaluate your models, surface model failure modes, find labeling mistakes, prioritize high-value data for relabeling and more!

​
When to use Encord Active?

Encord Active helps you understand and improve your data, labels, and models at all stages of your machine learning journey.

Whether you’ve just started collecting data, labeled your first batch of samples, or have multiple models in production, Encord Active can help you.

Before going any further, you should know what a Collection is in Encord Active. Collections provide a way to save interesting groups of data units and labels, to support and guide your downstream workflow. For more information on Collections go here.

​
What data does Encord Active support?

Active supports analysis (Advanced Metrics and Embeddings) on images and videos up to 4K resolution. Performance is affected for images and videos over 4K.

For optimal performance, we strongly recommend downscaling images and videos over 4K to 4K resolution.
