Overview

As a part-time remote expert, you will assess how well a large language model handles Simplified Chinese and help build linguistic data for model training. You will review tasks such as translation, summaries, dialogue, and grammar correction, then refine text and share detailed analysis with AI researchers. Your work will support language use for readers in mainland China and Singapore and help improve the model’s understanding and generation.

What You'll Do5

  • Assess the accuracy and quality of LLM-generated Simplified Chinese across translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
  • Edit or rewrite Chinese text to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Simplified Chinese readers, including readers in mainland China and Singapore.
  • Annotate Chinese text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
  • Find model errors and language gaps, then work with AI researchers on ways to improve performance.
  • Provide detailed linguistic feedback and analysis to guide ongoing model training.

Requirements7

  • Native or near-native fluency in Simplified Chinese, with strong command of grammar, syntax, and style.
  • Professional experience in Chinese translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
  • Strong knowledge of Simplified Chinese nuances, regional variation, register, and context-appropriate usage.
  • Ability to distinguish Simplified Chinese from Traditional Chinese in language use.
  • Professional fluency in English.
  • Careful attention to detail when identifying subtle errors and unnatural phrasing.
  • Clear communication skills and experience working with remote, distributed teams.

Preferred Qualifications1

  • Interest in AI and LLM-based language technologies.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with professional Chinese language experience and native or near-native Simplified Chinese fluency will be well suited to this work. Familiarity with linguistic annotation or NLP data, along with professional English fluency, will help you give researchers useful feedback.
