Multi-Modal Annotation Framework

A Multi-Modal Annotation Framework is an annotation framework that supports data labeling across multiple data types within a unified platform.

• AKA: Multi-Type Annotation Framework, Multi-Modal Labeling Framework, Universal Annotation Platform, Multi-Data Annotation Framework.
• Context:
  • It can typically handle text annotation, image annotation, video annotation, audio annotation, and time series annotation through unified interfaces.
  • It can typically provide modality-specific tools while maintaining consistent annotation schemas.
  • It can often enable cross-modal relationships between annotations in different data types.
  • It can often support format conversion between different annotation standards.
  • It can typically integrate pre-trained models for automated pre-annotation across modalities.
  • It can often facilitate quality control mechanisms that work across different data types.
  • It can range from being a Basic Multi-Modal Framework to being an Advanced Multi-Modal Framework, depending on its sophistication level.
  • It can range from being a Two-Modal Framework to being an Omni-Modal Framework, depending on its modality coverage.
  • It can range from being a Research-Oriented Framework to being a Production-Ready Framework, depending on its maturity level.
  • It can range from being a Standalone Framework to being a Cloud-Integrated Framework, depending on its deployment model.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Label Studio supporting text, image, video, audio, and time series annotation.
  • Open Source Multi-Modal Annotation Frameworks, such as:
    • CVAT supporting image and video annotation.
    • Doccano supporting multiple NLP annotation types.
  • Commercial Multi-Modal Annotation Frameworks, such as:
    • Labelbox for enterprise multi-modal annotation.
    • Supervisely for computer vision and multi-modal tasks.
  • Domain-Specific Multi-Modal Annotation Frameworks, such as:
    • Medical Multi-Modal Annotation Framework for healthcare data.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Text-Only Annotation Framework, which lacks multi-modal support.
  • Image-Only Annotation Tool, which focuses on single modality.
  • Data Visualization Framework, which presents rather than annotates data.
