Turn reviewed data into a controlled model change.
Custom training is most useful when the team can reproduce the data, compare the candidate with the current model, and explain the promotion decision. Taught keeps those objects in one governed workflow.
- Dataset manifest
- The frozen input identifies eligible evidence, taxonomy, task revision, and split membership.
- Leakage-aware groups
- Related source frames can remain together so evaluation does not reward memorizing near-duplicates.
- Run artifacts
- Candidate configuration, output checkpoints, metrics, and logs remain attached to the run.
- Promotion record
- The incumbent changes only through an explicit decision against frozen gates.
The path from evidence to promoted version
- 01Freeze eligible labels
Build a dataset from review evidence that has passed the project’s rules.
- 02Create protected splits
Use source-aware groups and fixed manifests to make later comparisons meaningful.
- 03Train a candidate
Run a supported native or external training path without changing the frozen test evidence.
- 04Evaluate before promotion
Compare the candidate with the incumbent and record the decision that changes the active model.
Training support is task-specific
- Image object detection has a mature native training and evaluation path.
- Other labeling tasks may use external training or have no training capability; support is reported per task.
- A trained checkpoint is not automatically serving-compatible or publicly deployable.
Questions teams ask before they begin
Direct answers based on the current Taught product and deployment boundaries.
Does Taught retrain a model after every label?
No. Eligible evidence is frozen into a dataset version, and training runs are explicit, reproducible operations.
How does Taught reduce train-test leakage?
Acquisition or source groups can keep related frames together when fixed dataset splits are created.
Is the newest model automatically promoted?
No. Promotion requires a recorded comparison against frozen evaluation rules and an explicit decision.
