Scale is one of the biggest companies in the data labeling space. They recently introduced Scale Nucleus which goes in a similar direction as Lightly. However, whereas Nucleus works well with already labeled datasets we designed Lightly from the beginning to focus on unlabeled data.
With the combination of self-supervised learning and embedding visualization of Lightly, you can easily work with datasets where you don’t have model predictions or labels at hand. Note, that Lightly is also available on-prem which is a must for some of our customers since usually there is 100x more unlabeled data than labeled data.
