Managing annotation jobs is disclosed, including: receiving an annotation job, including: obtaining an input text to be annotated; and obtaining an ontology specifying a plurality of labels to be used to annotate the input text; distributing the annotation job to a plurality of annotator devices via an annotation platform; receiving a plurality of annotation results with respect to the input text from the plurality of annotator devices; and providing an aggregate annotation report corresponding to the annotation job, wherein the aggregate annotation report combines the plurality of annotation results.

Management of annotation jobs

A technique is disclosed for automating tracking of annotated objects and improves the throughput and efficiency of existing methods while maintaining a degree of accuracy comparable to a human annotator. In particular, the disclosed technique provides an automated annotated object tracking tool that allows machine-learning teams to annotate an object within a frame and have that annotation persist across frames as the annotated object is tracked within a series of frames, still ensuring that every frame is accurately reviewed by a human where high quality annotation is required. This technique incorporates human feedback via a user adjustment that allows the tool to adapt and improve its accuracy in tracking an annotated object across a sequence of frames.
