cleanlab VS label-studio

We have feely open-sourced our new method for improving segmentation data, published a paper on the research behind it, and released a 5-min code tutorial. You can also read more in the blog if you'd like.

We’ve open-sourced one line of code to find errors in any object detection dataset via Cleanlab Object Detection, which can utilize any existing object detection model you’ve trained.

If you'd like to learn more, you can check out the blogpost, research paper, code, and tutorial to run this on your data.

Sharing some context here: in grad school, I spent months writing custom data analysis code and training ML models to find errors in large-scale datasets like ImageNet, work that eventually resulted in this paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.14749) and demo (https://labelerrors.com/).

Since then, I’ve been interested in building tools to automate this sort of analysis. We’ve finally gotten to the point where a web app can do automatically in a couple of hours what I spent months doing in Jupyter notebooks back in 2019—2020. It was really neat to see the software we built automatically produce the same figures and tables that are in our papers.

The blog post shared here is results-focused, talking about some of the data and dataset-level issues that a tool using data-centric AI algorithms can automatically find in ImageNet, which we used as a case study. Happy to answer any questions about the post or data-centric AI in general here!

P.S. all of our core algorithms are open-source, in case any of you are interested in checking out the code: https://github.com/cleanlab/cleanlab

Cleanlab Studio offers a user-friendly interface that allows you to visualize and review the identified issues in your dataset. You can easily explore the detected errors and make corrections with confidence. It's a hassle-free solution that can save you valuable time and improve your overall e-commerce operations.

I thought this community might find it very useful that Databricks has partnered with Cleanlab to bring automated data correction and ML model improvement for both structured and unstructured datasets to all Databricks users.

I just published a paper detailing this non-IID check and open-sourced its code in the cleanlab package — just one line of code will check for this and many other types of issues in your dataset.

I recently published a blog introducing Datalab and an open-source Python implementation that is easy-to-use for all data types (image, text, tabular, audio, etc). For data scientists, I’ve made a quick Jupyter tutorial to run Datalab on your own data.

If instead you have a cohort on hand — -i.e., you do not want to send your data to a third party for any reason, or perhaps you have energetic undergrads — -then you could alternatively consider local, open-source annotation such as CVAT and Label Studio. Finally, nowadays, you might instead work with Large Multimodal Models to have them annotate your data; more on this awkward angle later.

For instance, the COCO Annotator is a web-based image annotation tool tailored for the COCO dataset format, allowing collaborative labeling with features like attribute tagging and automatic segmentation. Similarly, Label Studio offers an easy-to-use interface for bounding box object labeling in images.

Huh?

I wrote my own system for classifying a stream of texts in Python, I might Open Source it one of these days but I have to get it to the point where it is modular enough that I can customize it to do the particular things I want without subjecting people to my whims... I use it every day and I'm not afraid to demo it because it is rock solid.

My understanding is that my system would not be hard to adapt to work on images for certain kinds of tasks.

Pytorch is open source, Huggingface is open source. CUDA isn't. This is

and for annotating text spans there are so many open source tools

I worked for a company a few years back that built annotation tools for projects we sold to customers but never quite got to a polished general purpose annotator. Today there are an overwhelming number of companies in this space and products I never heard of, many of which are cloud based or paid. Looks like a gold rush to me.

LabelStudio is free for single use. https://labelstud.io/

LabelStudio is pretty nice, and free & open source, but I have yet to try out their ML integration with a YOLO object detection model.

Label Studio is an open source data labeling tool that includes annotation functionality. It provides a simple user interface (UI) that lets you label various data types, including text, audio, time series data, videos, and images, and export the information to various model formats.
