Only 16% of the population speaks English while 60%+ of the content are in EnglishWe have talked to different communities and identified challengesAI tools are often biased and centralizedCrowdsourcing translations Systems often get abuseNeed ways to Reward Contributors for retention and engagementThus, We're building an incentive network for AI translation agent and human attestorsIn our demo, we translated a video from the Pragama Denver Playlist on Youtube. This makes use of OpenAI Whisper for ASR onto original English transcript, then prompt to OpenAI LLM for the final translatied (Traditional Chinese) file in vtt.Vtt subtitles files are uploaded to IPFS for process and execution of decentralized AIThen with a Chrome extension, we can see the translated subtitles, and end-users can feedback by vote up/down like in StackOverflow. These votes will create crypto-based attestations with user's wallet and send back to our servers.With that we're able to avoid abuse, further calculate incentive allocation base on contributions.We derive contribution base on a few factors such as edit distance between previous translations, time of translation to determine contribution. e.g. Translate early, get more, fix a minor typo get less.Then we issue the final "rollup" contribution attestation using EAS/Witness and commit that on-chain.For incentives, we integrated Grantstack from Gitcoin so project owner can fund raise for their project. Then with allo protocol, payouts can be made accoridngly to contirbution in a trustless manner.We created a custom Allo strategy (ELSStrategy) to check against such attestation before receipent cam ne registered to the protoype.In future we might have deeper integration with on-chain Quatric voting mechanism such that each donor or project owner of project can reinforce who will get the final reward.All in all, this protocol aims to create a DataDAO such that we could accumulate human attestation data as supervised dataset, to further improve our models and expand localization capcity to more projects.
