We are pleased to announce the release of INCEpTION 0.15.0.
INCEpTION is an extensible web-based collaborative environment
for text annotation. It integrates machine-learning-based annotation
support, knowledge base management and corpus building into
a single comprehensive platform.
This is a feature release.
Notable changes since INCEpTION 0.14.0
- upgrade of the UI by upgrading to bootstrap 4
- added tutorial for project creation and setup for first time users
- improved performance when importing a large amount of documents at once
- custom colors for feature labels of span annotations can now be chosen
- update of the named entity linker with a fuzzy search and a fix for it wrongly searching only for the first given word
- new experimental feature that allows curation from a sidebar on the annotation page
- limiting shown results of annotation search for usability
- allow filtering of entities in the annotation editor by description and substring
- ... and a couple of additional under-the-hood improvements
