Human Text Annotator

A Human Text Annotator is a human data-annotator who can solve text annotation tasks.

• Context:
  • They can (often) utilize Text Annotation Tools and Text Annotation Software to assist in the annotation process.
  • They can (often) be a member of a Text Data-Focused Annotation Team.
  • They can adapt to different Text Annotation Processes and Text Annotation Project Requirements.
  • They can contribute to Annotated Text Datasets.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • Task-Specific Text Annotators, such as: (which require expertise in specific text annotation tasks, such as Sentiment Analysis, Entity Recognition, and Document Classification.)
    • a Sentiment Analysis Annotator (working on sentiment analysis processes with sentiment annotation tasks).
    • an Entity Recognition Annotator (working on entity recognition processes with entity annotation tasks).
    • a Document Classification Annotator (working on document classification processes with document classification tasks).
    • ...
  • Domain-Specific Text Annotators, such as:
    • a Medical Text Annotator (working on medical text annotation processes with medical text annotation tasks).
    • a Legal Text Annotator (working on legal text annotation processes with legal text annotation tasks), such as:
      • a Contract-Related Annotator (working on contract annotation processes with contract annotation tasks).
    • a Financial Document Annotator (working on financial document annotation processes with financial document annotation tasks).
    • ...
  • Data Type-Specific Text Annotators, such as:
    • a Plain Text Annotator (working on plain text annotation processes with plain text annotation tasks).
    • a Transcript Annotator (working on transcript annotation processes with transcript annotation tasks).
    • a Document Annotator (working on document annotation processes with document annotation tasks).
    • a Web Content Annotator (working on web content annotation processes with web content annotation tasks).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Text Annotation System.
