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.

- Edit or rewrite Chinese text to meet linguistic and cultural standards for Simplified Chinese readers, including readers in mainland China and Singapore.
