Tools to Improve Training Data - Talking Language AI Ep#2
Vincent Warmerdam builds a lot of NLP tools (https://github.com/koaning). Many of these tools target the scikit-learn ecosystem and there's a theme of labeling across many of them. A recent focus of his stack of tools is to improve training data. In this video, Vincent and Jay discuss a few of these tools and show how they work together.
These tools are discussed in the video:
- Human-learn: a toolkit to build human-based scikit-learn components
- Doubtlab: a toolkit to help find doubtful labels in data
- Embetter: A library that makes it very easy to use embeddings in scikit-learn
- Bulk: a library that uses embeddings to leverage bulk labeling
The talk includes live demos for each and to show how some simple tricks can go a long way.
