Design a Multimodal Training Data Pipeline
Design a Multimodal Training Data Pipeline
Design a backend system responsible for collecting, filtering, and storing training data submitted by numerous clients.
Clients will upload records that can include various data types such as large media files (e.g., images, videos), action sequences, associated labels, and general metadata. The backend system must execute a series of validation and filtering steps on this incoming data, specifically:
- Detecting whether an image or video frame is upside down or otherwise invalid.
- Identifying duplicate or near-duplicate actions or sequences.
- Detecting and filtering out spam, junk, or low-quality submissions.
Ultimately, the system must reliably store all accepted and validated data, making it available for downstream machine learning training processes.
The discussion should cover the end-to-end system design, including:
- APIs for client interaction
- The overall data ingestion flow
- Strategies for data storage
- Implementation of asynchronous processing
- Approaches to ensure scalability
- Measures for system reliability
- Methods for handling large media files efficiently
- Observability mechanisms
- Strategies to detect and mitigate data bias within the collected training data.
