Abstract

With ever-increasing demands on the diversity of annotations of language data, the need arises to reduce the amount of efforts involved in generating such value-added language resources. We introduce here the Jena ANnotation Environment (Jane), a platform that supports the complete annotation life-cycle and allows for 'focused' annotation based on active learning. The focus we provide yields significant savings in annotation efforts by presenting only informative items to the annotator. We report on our experience with this approach through simulated and real-world annotations in the domain of immunogenetics for NE annotations.
