Hands-on labeling of text data using the Snorkel API
In this section, we are going to learn how to label text data using the Snorkel API.
Snorkel provides an API for programmatically labeling text data using a small set of ground truth labels that are created by domain experts. Snorkel, an open source data labeling and training platform, is used by various companies and organizations across different industries, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, IBM, and SAP.
It has unique features that differentiate it from other competitors, especially in the context of weak supervision and programmatically generating labeled data. Here’s a comparison with some of the other tools:
- Weak supervision: Snorkel excels in scenarios where labeled data is scarce, and manual labeling is expensive. It allows users to programmatically label large amounts of data using heuristics, patterns, and external resources.
- Flexible labeling functions: Snorkel enables the creation of labeling functions...
