Easy Review Text Annotations With Labellerr's Object-Highlighting Feature

Introduction

Imagine you are an NLP specialist, tackling a massive text file for Named Entity Recognition (NER). You labeled each person, location, and organization name, but the process felt slow and difficult.

Every time you labeled an entity, you had to switch back and forth between the text and a separate list to confirm the category and count entities. This constant context switching hindered your focus and slowed down your progress.

With Labellerr's object-highlighting feature, navigating through annotations becomes effortless, providing users with valuable insights and enhancing the overall annotation process.

Why is it needed?

Traditionally, annotating text, especially for tasks like Named Entity Recognition (NER), involved a difficult process.

Annotators would switch back and forth between the text, a separate list containing all annotations, and another list displaying the different categories for the entities.

This constant context switching disrupts the workflow, leading to inefficiency and increased load. Keeping track of multiple elements across different interfaces strains focus and makes the process error-prone.

Labellerr's object highlighting feature effectively addresses these issues by seamlessly integrating the left panel with the annotations directly within the text.

This allows users to not only efficiently annotate individual entities but also review all annotations and their corresponding categories within a single, consolidated view.

Advantages of object-highlighting feature

Quick Overview: By clicking on annotated parts in a document, users can see a quick overview of all highlighted entities, along with category counts.

Instant Identification: Labellerr's Object Highlighting feature offers instant identification of the class name associated with annotations.

Efficient Interaction: The interaction between the left panel and annotations streamlines the annotation process, offering a more efficient and insightful user experience.

Enhanced Productivity: By enhancing the annotation experience and providing quick access to highlighted entities. Users can easily see the total annotations made per category, which makes the review process very easy.

How to use  Labellerr's object highlighting feature

1. After completing the annotation of your dataset, navigate to the "Review" tab located in the dashboard. Here, you can access and review all annotations made to your dataset.

Clicking on any of the annotated objects allows you to view the category under which they have been annotated.

This feature provides valuable insights into the distribution and count of entity tagging within your dataset.
