Walkthrough for reviewers

This page walks through the different ways that users with the Reviewer role can review annotations from all annotators.

As a reviewer, you will likely be tasked to manually annotate documents, in addition to reviewing annotations from others. Follow the Walkthrough for annotators to get step-by-step instructions annotating documents for the different task types.

You can review annotations in two places:

  • Within a batch: View all annotations made on a single document side-by-side.
  • On the Review page: View a full list of all annotations and their corresponding documents.

In addition, you have some additional permissions that allow you to manage batches.

Review documents within a batch

While inside a batch that you are assigned, being a reviewer allows you to review other users' annotations and mark them with agreement or disagreement. In this view, you can see all annotations made on a single document side-by-side.

How you review the annotations differs based on the task type. For all task types, you can click the comment icon to add an explanation for why you agree or disagree with other annotations. In addition, you can click the tag icon to add a tag to the document. For example, you may want to create a tag called contains-disagreements to tag documents that have significant disagreement among the annotators.

Review classification and extraction annotations

For classification and extraction applications, click Other Annotations at the bottom of the right pane to view all annotations for the document. If you agree with an annotation, you can click the Agree button to update your annotation to match.

Review sequence tagging annotations

In sequence tagging applications, you can toggle between two modes: Annotating and Reviewing.

  • In Annotating mode, you can label spans as usual and see your own annotations.
  • In Reviewing mode, you can see the highlighted spans from other annotators.

You can visualize annotator conflict by inspecting where multiple overlapping labels exist. Click the label highlight to get more information about the span and annotator. You can use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to quickly look through the data associated with each highlight.
