I'm really happy to see this. I demonstrated an (in some ways) more advanced version of this a few years ago in my talk on TED.com - see the last few minutes of http://ted.com/talks/jeremy_howard_the_wonderful_and_terrify...

Unfortunately back when I was at Enlitic we never got around to open sourcing this, but I hoped my demo would encourage people to explore tools built on projections. There's great potential to rapidly label data and improve models using these kinds of tools. I'm certainly hoping to find time to return to this myself sometime soon.

Do you know what the best options are currently for the labelling part? I'm looking for a tool to highlight phrases to train an entity recognition. IBM has something, but it's pretty expensive, and I'm not sure what this would be called.

I'm not aware of any systems that I think are much good. It's a big gap.

Not entirely sure what you are looking for, but have you seen https://demos.explosion.ai/displacy-ent/?

This is right sort of UI. I want to be able to highlight text and say what type of entity is selected to train a new model.

It needs to be more of a workflow based system though, so you can upload 10s of thousands of documents and tag them as quickly as is reasonable.

I think BRAT can do that: http://brat.nlplab.org/index.html

I've never used it for doing the annotation myself though.

There are a few other possible tools here: https://omictools.com/text-annotation-category

This looks like what I need, thanks!
