## Hello, team! :smile:

We would like to share some feedback, please **click on each project to s=
ee the details**.

[details=3D"260107-solve-challenging-images"]
:x: **Issues**
* Annotators applied flawed logic to calculations by simply counting pixe=
ls without accounting for the 3-dimensional nature of the scene.
* The perspective of objects, where items nearer to the camera appear lar=
ger, was not taken into consideration.

:white_check_mark: **Recommendations**
* You must consider every factor, including how the 3D nature of an image=
 affects perception.
* The goal is to ensure images meet all four requirements: verifiable, un=
ique, nontrivial, and clean.
* A good practice is to provide a clear explanation that is easy to follo=
w.

[/details]

[details=3D"251112-inpaint-video-add-object"]
:x: **Issues**
* Annotators misunderstood the task and wrote prompts to replace the mask=
ed object rather than add to it.
* Prompts sometimes failed to specify exactly which object should be mask=
ed.
* Objects were not fully masked across all frames where they appeared.
* Parts of an object or their shadow were visible outside the masked area=
.
* The masked object appeared for less than 20% of the total video duratio=
n.

:white_check_mark: **Recommendations**
* You should focus your prompts on adding the masked object, not replacin=
g it.
* The goal is to ensure the object is fully masked in every frame where i=
t is present.
* A good practice is to ensure the prompt is clear and explicitly states =
which object should be masked.
* You should adjust the masking area to ensure the entire object is cover=
ed, including the object's shadow.
* The goal is to ensure the masked object is present for at least 20% of =
the video; if this isn't achievable with the selected video, you should s=
kip it and choose a different one.

[/details]

[details=3D"260203-ig-celebrity-images"]
:x: **Issues**
* Annotators selected accounts that met the follower count requirement (o=
ver 1 million) but did not focus on a single celebrity (e.g., accounts fo=
r video games).
* Joint accounts were selected where the images did not show the celebrit=
y in isolation.
* The selected images had high contrast or the celebrity's face was obscu=
red.
* Duplicate images were selected.

:white_check_mark: **Recommendations**
* You should only select celebrity accounts; having over 1 million follow=
ers is not sufficient if the account is not focused on a specific person.=

* The goal is to select accounts with one person (the celebrity) as the m=
ain focus.
* You should only select images where the celebrity's face is clearly vis=
ible; if you cannot confidently identify the person, the image should not=
 be selected.
* A good practice is to check for duplicates and only select one photo if=
 multiple copies are available.

:100: **Exceptional Work**
* The Annotator selected 355 out of 446 images and met all the requiremen=
ts.

[/details]

[details=3D"260206-audio-segmentation-timestamp"]
:x: **Issues**
* Annotators created two separate segments for a sentence that was likely=
 spoken continuously by the same person.

:white_check_mark: **Recommendations**
* You should not split a segment if the pause is less than 0.5 seconds or=
 if the audio is part of the same continuous sentence, as long as the spe=
aker remains the same.

[/details]

As a reminder of the grading scale:

* :-1: =E2=80=9C**Major Issues**=E2=80=9D feedback means the task contain=
s major errors or misalignment.
* :information_source: =E2=80=9C**Some Issues**=E2=80=9D feedback means t=
he task contains minor omissions/errors.
* :+1: =E2=80=9C**Meeting Expectations**=E2=80=9D feedback means the task=
 meets all requirements (common and expected).
* :star: "**Exceptional Work**=E2=80=9D feedback means you are doing grea=
t! Your task can be used as a stellar example and exceeds expectations (t=
his is rare).
