Text Annotation made easy with Doccano
Supervised machine learning (ML) models need labeled data, but majority of the data collected in the raw format lacks labels. So, the first step before building a ML model would be to get the raw data labeled by domain experts. To do so, we did a survey of the annotation tools and came across Doccano as an easy tool for collaborative text annotation. The latest version of Doccano supports annotation features for text classification, sequence labeling (NER) and sequence to sequence (machine translation, text summarization).
Cannot interact with screen while Teams Annotation is on.
Hey, so in the past I've taken a lot of advantage of other apps' screen-share annotation features. Unfortunately, Teams implements it in a way that isn't very useful for us. The presenter needs to be able to still operate/ navigate their machine while participants annotate. The "cursor tool" in annotation mode is a little puzzling to me, but if there could be an additional cursor that return the pc to "normal mode" for the sharer, and does not interact with the overlay, it would be an extremely useful feature. Thanks, Tom.
