Editor

Enable/Disable Tokenization

You can now annotate items in the Text Editor with tokens. If enabled, the Annotators will be able to label entities by selecting only a part of the word and the entire word will be automatically labeled. Tokenization helps split texts into units based on specific linguistic knowledge, making text annotation easier and error-free.

There are two types of tokenization: Basic Tokenization and Smart Tokenization.

  • Basic Tokenization splits texts into simple units. It can identify word positions, punctuation marks, and basic semantic categories. So, if you highlight only Cali in California, all the characters in California will be automatically selected as a single text unit. These are the basic tokenization categories:

🚧

word, ordinal, cardinal, mention, hashtag, phone, emoticon, symbol, email, currency, punctuation, html, url, emoji, time and date.

  • With Smart Tokenization, if you highlight Fran in San Francisco, the word San Francisco will be annotated. It's based on the Spacy tokenizer and various regular expressions. The model used in Smart Tokenization recognizes geolocations, city names, book titles, etc. These are the semantic categories:

🚧

person, loc, quantity, percent, product, language, norp, ordinal,
fac, org, cardinal, 'time, work of art, event, law, money, gpe and date.

Basic Tokenization is enabled by default. You can choose to disable it or to enable Smart Tokenization instead in the project’s setup.

To enable Tokenization:

  1. Go to SetupSettingsEditor.
  2. Turn on the toggle next to Tokenization.
  3. Select Basic Tokenization or Smart Tokenization.

Your changes will be saved automatically.

To disable Tokenization:

  1. Go to SetupSettingsEditor.
  2. Turn off the toggle next to Tokenization.

Your changes will be saved automatically.
