Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based

Field: Languages

Evaluate and refine LLM-generated Taiwanese Mandarin written in Traditional Chinese for accuracy, naturalness and cultural fit. The work includes editing, annotation and detailed analysis of model errors across translation, summarization, dialogue and grammar tasks.

The work

You will assess Chinese text produced by a large language model, with a focus on Taiwanese Mandarin written in Traditional Chinese. Day-to-day tasks may include scoring translations and summaries, correcting dialogue or grammar, rewriting unnatural passages, annotating grammatical and semantic features, and documenting recurring model errors for AI researchers.

What the screen looks for

The platform is likely to test native or near-native fluency in Chinese (Taiwan), including command of grammar, syntax, style, register and regional usage. Expect comparisons between Taiwan usage and Mainland or Hong Kong Chinese, plus follow-up questions about professional work in translation, editing, linguistic annotation or Chinese NLP data. Professional fluency in English is required, while interest in AI and LLM-driven language technologies is preferred but not required.

Working format

The listing describes distributed, remote teamwork and emphasizes clear written feedback. It does not specify whether all work is asynchronous, the expected weekly commitment, project duration or working hours, so candidates should confirm these details during onboarding.

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This establishes whether your claimed experience maps to the task types named in the role and can be verified through concrete projects, clients, deliverables or workflows.
A strong answer: Give one or two specific engagements, stating your responsibility, the variety of Chinese used, the content type, the review or annotation process and the resulting deliverable. Distinguish paid or formal professional work from casual language use.
