# Data Labeling This skill enables an AI agent to design and execute data labeling workflows for machine learning projects. It covers manual annotation with tools like Label Studio, semi-automated labeling with model-assisted pre-annotation, active learning loops that prioritize the most informative samples, and programmatic weak supervision using labeling functions. The agent handles label schema design, annotator guidelines, quality control through inter-annotator agreement, and export to ML-ready formats. ## Workflow 1. **Define the labeling schema and guidelines:** Design the label taxonomy — classes for classification, entity types for NER, bounding box categories for object detection, or segment labels for semantic segmentation. Write clear annotator guidelines with positive and negative examples for each label, covering boundary cases and ambiguous scenarios. 2. **Set up the labeling environment:** Configure a labeling tool (Label Studio, Labelbox, or Prodigy) with the schema, import the raw data, and set up user accounts with appropriate permissions. Define the labeling interface template that matches the task type — text classification, span annotation, image bounding boxes, or multi-turn dialogue tagging. 3. **Pre-annotate with model predictions:** Use existing models or heuristic rules to generate preliminary labels for the dataset. Annotators then review and correct these predictions rather than labeling from scratch, which can reduce annotation time by 40-60...
