Data-Item Annotation System

An Data-Item Annotation System is a annotation system that supports data annotation tasks.

• Context:
  • It can (often) be a Domain-Specific Data-Item Annotation System.
  • It can (often) be a Task-Specific Data-Item Annotation System.
  • ...
  • It can range from (typically) being a Manual Annotation System (used by human annotators) to being an Automated Annotation System
  • It can range from being a Text Annotation System, to being an Audio Annotation System, to being an Image Annotation System, to being a Video Annotation System.
  • ...
  • It can be integrated into a Data Annotation Process.
  • It can be developed with the use of an Data Annotation Platform.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • Text Annotation Systems used for annotating linguistic features in text data, such as part-of-speech tagging or entity recognition.
  • Image Annotation Systems that supports tasks like object detection and segmentation in images.
  • Image Labeling Systems and Video Labeling Systems, used for annotating frames in video data and labeling objects or actions.
  • Medical Image Annotation Systems, used for annotating radiological images with diagnostic information, crucial in healthcare AI applications.
  • Time-Series Annotation Systems for labeling and analyzing trends in sequential data, such as financial data or sensor readings.
  • Named Entity Recognition (NER) Systems used for identifying and labeling entities in text data, such as names, dates, and locations.
  • Speech Annotation Systems that labels audio data with phonetic transcriptions, speaker identities, or sentiment tags.
  • Genomic Data Annotation Systems that labels sequences of DNA or RNA with functional information, used extensively in bioinformatics.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Data Classification System.
  • a Tokenization System.
  • a Synthetic Data Generatino System.
