Highlight multiple occurences for NER task

[louisxdo]

I'm working on the task of Named Entities Recognitions for long text. In these texts, sometimes there are multiple occurences of an entity (for example name of person repeated numerous times. My question is there is anyway in LabelStudio to hightlight all of these occurences to help the annotators annotate it quicker and easier ? Thanks for your support.

You can implement simple ML backend (but without ML :-) ). It could return an "empty" label for all doublicated words/sequences of words. Then your annotators will change "empty" to another label.

We are working on interactive prelabeling right now, hope you will check it soon :-)
