Data annotation is a key part of advancing educational technologies, personal learning platforms and AI research in the education sector and the AI research labs. Datasets annotated with rules and labels are indispensable for training machine learning model used in intelligent tutoring systems, NLP applications, computer vision applications, and applications for educational content recommendations.
However, in education, a fundamental resource is text data – educational materials, student essays, assessments and research papers. Text annotation is labelling text for purposes such as automated grading, content categorization, sentiment analysis, and summarization and so on.
Applying annotation to language learning, in education contributes towards training language models for speech recognition, pronunciation evaluation and conversational AI.
Video data has become an important resource due to the increased amount of e-learning and remote education. Video content can be annotated to enhance the accuracy of video based educational tools such as virtual tutoring systems, lecture summarization, and classroom monitoring.
In STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), the role of annotating images and diagrams is important, since visual content (graphs, charts, equations and scientific diagrams) is part of STEM learning.
Personalized learning is a must for utilizing NLP, as it provides educators and researchers a chance to study student performance, predict and plan learning outcomes, and suggest personalized content. NLP annotation is basically a process of labelling text data for improving adaptive learning systems (e.g., machine learning tasks).
Many AI research labs involved with education use datasets of annotated content in order to build models to help analyse and thus improve, the learning process. Data annotated over various research areas is needed for experimentation and model training areas like intelligent tutoring systems, automated assessment, student behavioural analysis.
Data annotation is playing a crucial role in the education industry and AI research labs to create intelligent learning tools, automated grading systems, and personalized learning platform. Annotation Support provides text, audio, video and image annotation to train AI models to best serve learners, create more accessible learning, and spur the development of game changing educational technologies.
