What is an annotation guide?
What is it?
An annotation guide gives the instructions to label data consistently: the list of labels, the definition of each one and annotated examples. Two people following the same guide should reach the same result.
When to use it
- Build a dataset by hand, alone or as a team.
- Have several people annotate data.
- Document how an existing dataset was labelled.
