Span Based

Span-based

Span-based projects allow you to label tokens in a text document. This type is well-suited for projects, such as NER and POS.

Before submitting your project, you can also adjust additional settings as described below.

• Limit selection to a span of 1 token is useful when you want to enforce that every token in the document must be labeled.

• Spans should have at most one label does not allow you to add multiple labels to a single span.

• Allow arrows to be drawn between labels allows you to draw arrows from one label to another to annotate relationships between words. This is useful for showing that an adjective is related to a noun, or a pronoun is referring to a person.

• Default text selection allows you to select whether token or character selection. Some languages may require you to change the selection to character selection, i.e. Mandarin, Korean, or Thai.

Note: If you have already created a project, you can change the configurations through Settings.

Aside from NER and POS, audio labeling is another type of token-based labeling. The main difference is that an audio interface utilizes a waveform to display the audio and allows for the modification of timestamps.
