A Computer-Assisted Annotation Task is an Annotation Task that is a Computer-Assisted Task.

• AKA: Computer-Aided Annotation Task.
• Context:
  • It can make use of a Computer Annotation System.
  • It can be an Active Learning Task (with Learning Iterations).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Manual Annotation Task.
  • Fully-Automated Annotation Task.

  • It has been experimentally shown that AL can indeed be successfully applied to a range of NLP tasks including, e.g., text categorization (Lewis and Gale, 1994), part-of-speech tagging (Dagan and Engelson, 1995; Ringger et al., 2007), parsing (Becker and Osborne, 2005), and named entity recognition (Shen et al., 2004; Tomanek et al., 2007). Despite that somewhat impressive results in terms of reduced annotation effort have been achieved by such studies, it seems that AL is rarely applied in real-life annotation endeavors.
