Description:

HERE Chinese Annotator

SUMMARY OF JOB

The HERE Chinese Annotator position performs detailed web research for
geographical points-of-interest (POI), using resources like official websites,
review sites, online search, etc for HERE Corporation. Annotation is a measure
for how well our HERE mapping software is performing. If there are any HERE
map changes being implemented, Annotation informs us if those changes are
better or worse for the User. As an annotator, you will help to: 1) determine
the possible intent of user-entered map searches, 2) determine the value of
the POI being returned as a map listing, and (3) confirm information about
POIs using web-based research. This position is for United States of America
citizens only. 
 
 
Main responsibilities:
- Rate the quality of HERE maps generated POIs from user-entered map searches.
The Annotator must be able to clearly discuss their thought process leading to
each rating.
- Perform online research to determine and list the most likely intent of the
user-entered map searches.
- Perform data quality checks on the various POI attributes in our mapping
database.
- Be able to evaluate two different lists of software-generated maps search
results.
 
Work environment:
All work is done remotely through an online portal website. Annotator work is
then reviewed by Annotation mergers. All Annotators follow task-specific
annotation guidelines. Within that structure, workers must be creative and
open-thinkers in terms of web-based resources needed to perform their work.
All data is displayed through specific task templates through the online
portal website.
 
Scope:
An Annotator is an Individual contributor. Annotators work independently and
remotely. Some workers, after high-performance assessments, are trained as
“mergers”, doing higher level work than normal Annotators wherein they review
previous Annotator work, provide final ratings, and provide feedback to
Annotator as necessary. All Annotation work is done anonymously through
username on the online portal website– no Annotator knows the personal
information of other Annotators.
 
 
Impact decision making:
Workers make decisions based on the utility provided by the search responses,
or the correctness of the attributes associated with a POI. Collectively, this
data allows the HERE Team to make informed changes to the HERE map software
and for database quality. 
 
 
Position requirements:
- High school diploma. 
- Proficient at utilizing a variety of web resources and with computer usage.
- Literacy in Chinese Mandarin is required with Cantonese being highly
desirable. 
- Language proficiency in Thai and Arabic is also desirable, but not a
requirement. 
- This position expects around 20 hours of annotation work each week. 

Disclaimer:  The above statements are intended to describe the general nature
and level of work being performed by people assigned to this classification.
They are not intended to be construed as an exhaustive list of all
responsibilities, duties, and skills required of HERE Annotation employees.
