Introduction to Data Labeling

Model training requires a large amount of labeled data. Therefore, before training a model, label data. ModelArts offers data labeling functions to assist with this process.

Manual Labeling

Create a labeling job based on the dataset type. ModelArts supports the following types of labeling jobs:

  • Image

    • Image classification: identifies a class of objects in images.

    • Object detection: identifies the position and class of each object in an image.

    • Image segmentation: segments an image into different areas based on objects in the image.

  • Audio

    • Sound classification: classifies and identifies different sounds.

    • Speech labeling: labels speech content.

    • Speech paragraph labeling: segments and labels speech content.

  • Text

    • Text classification: assigns labels to text according to its content.

    • Named entity recognition: assigns labels to named entities in text, such as time and locations.

    • Text triplet: assigns labels to entity segments and entity relationships in the text.

  • Video

    Video labeling: identifies the position and class of each object in a video. Only the MP4 format is supported.
