Labeling Data

After a project is created, you will be redirected to the new-version ExeML and the project starts to run. When the data labeling phase changes to Awaiting operation, manually confirm data labeling in the dataset. You can also add or delete data in the dataset and modify labels.

Data Labeling for Text Classification

Select a text to be labeled in Labeling Objects and click different labels in the Label Set area to label the text.
You can add only one label for a text object.
After confirming the file label, click Save Current Page in the lower right corner to save the labeling.
If a large number of objects are included in Labeling Objects, the page turning icon is displayed in the lower part of the area. After labeling objects on this page, click Save Current Page before you turn to the next page. If you turn pages before saving the labellings, the labeling information on the previous page will be lost. You need to re-label for text data.
