Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that collect and analyze annotation performance data to generate digital annotations for evaluating and training automatic electronic document annotation models. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide electronic documents to annotators based on annotator topic preferences. The disclosed systems then identify digital annotations and annotation performance data such as a time period spent by an annotator in generating digital annotations and annotator responses to digital annotation questions. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize the identified digital annotations and the annotation performance data to generate a final set of reliable digital annotations. Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide the final set of digital annotations for utilization in training a machine learning model to generate annotations for electronic documents.

Generating digital annotations for evaluating and training automatic electronic document annotation models

Techniques are disclosed for generating a structured transcription from a speech file. In an example embodiment, a structured transcription system receives a speech file comprising speech from one or more people and generates a navigable structured transcription object. The navigable structured transcription object may comprise one or more data structures representing multimedia content with which a user may navigate and interact via a user interface. Text and/or speech relating to the speech file can be selectively presented to the user (e.g., the text can be presented via a display, and the speech can be aurally presented via a speaker).

Emphasizing key points in a speech file and structuring an associated transcription

Highlighting key portions of text within a document is described. A document having text is obtained, and key portions of the document are determined using summarization techniques. Key portion data indicative of the key portions is generated and maintained for output to generate a highlighted document in which highlight overlays are displayed over or proximate the determined key portions of the text within the document. In one or more implementations, reader interactions with the highlighted document are monitored to generate reader feedback data. The reader feedback data may then be combined with the output of the summarization techniques in order to adjust the determined key portions. In some cases, the reader feedback data may also be used to improve the summarization techniques.
