SLATE: A Super-Lightweight Annotation Tool for Experts (P19-3)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: a new annotation tool is designed to fill the niche of a lightweight interface for terminal users . current tools are built with direct manipulation via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) this approach is time-consuming and difficult to modify .
Approach: They propose a terminal-based annotation tool that supports multiple annotations . they use a text-based interface that uses almost the entire screen to display documents .
Outcome: The proposed tool is designed to fill the niche of a lightweight interface for users with a terminal-based workflow.

Lightweight Grammatical Annotation in the TEI: New Perspectives (L18-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: a small set of descriptive devices have been made available for lightweight linguistic annotation . merit of a predefined TEI tagset is the homogeneity of tagging and better interoperability of simple linguistic resources encoded in the TE.
Approach: They propose a new attribute class that would gather token-level attributes facilitating simple linguistic annotation.
Outcome: The proposed attribute class addresses community feedback on the lack of a specific tagset for lightweight linguistic annotation within the TEI.

SLATE: A Sequence Labeling Approach for Task Extraction from Free-form Inked Content (2022.emnlp-industry)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: SLATE is a sequence labeling approach for extracting tasks from free-form content . past approaches for task extraction from typed content focus on building separate sentence-level task classification models.
Approach: They propose a sequence labeling approach for extracting tasks from free-form content . they use a single, low-latency sequence labelling approach to perform sentence segmentation and classification .
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms a baseline model and achieves 84.4% task F1 score and 88.4% boundary similarity score.

A Web-based Collaborative Annotation and Consolidation Tool (2020.lrec-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Annotation tools have a rigid structure, closed back-end and front-end, and are built in a non-user-friendly way rendering them unusable for a large cohort.
Approach: They propose a web-based collaborative annotation and consolidation tool (AWOCATo) that supports varied textual formats and allows users to easily adapt to the annotation task.
Outcome: AWOCATo supports a range of tasks and domains, filling the gap left by the lack of tools that can be used by people with and without programming knowledge.
Corpus Considerations for Annotator Modeling and Scaling (2024.naacl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent trends in natural language processing and annotation tasks emphasize individual perspectives . annotator models that rely on a single ground truth may disregard valuable minority perspectives omissions .
Approach: They propose a composite embedding approach to investigate annotator modeling techniques . they show that the commonly used user token model consistently outperforms more complex models .
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms more complex models on a given dataset.
