Mindtagger

Mindtagger is an interactive data labeling tool. Please refer to the DeepDive documentation for more details on how to use Mindtagger to estimate precision of DeepDive apps. For marking up text documents in general, e.g., for recall estimation, please take a look at the example tasks for the moment: genomics-recall and genomics-recall-relation in the source tree. They can be launched using the following script:
