Full description
Overview
Tamil catches AI on its split between everyday spoken forms and formal literary Tamil: the model mixes the two, producing text no one would say aloud or write in earnest. Its honorifics land unevenly and its script handling can slip, and a native speaker is who hears where it goes wrong.
As a Tamil Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in Tamil, teaching models to keep spoken and formal registers where they belong.
What you’ll actually do
- Review translations between English and Tamil for meaning, flow, and the right register.
- Score and rank model output in Tamil, catching mixed spoken and literary forms and misused honorifics.
- Write the better version when the model falls short, natural in whichever register the context calls for.
Roles this fits
Common backgrounds: Tamil Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist.
What we look for
- Native or near-native fluency in Tamil.
- A feel for the split between spoken and formal Tamil.
- Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
- No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
