Platform For AI:Configure intelligent pre-labeling

Last Updated:Apr 09, 2026

iTAG supports offline and online pre-labeling to reduce manual labeling effort in classification tasks.

Limitations

Pre-labeling is supported only for classification tasks, such as image classification and text classification.

Offline pre-labeling

File format

Prepare a manifest file, such as prelabel_offline.manifest, and use it to create an OSS dataset.

  • Each manifest entry must contain a source field and at least one custom field for the pre-labeled result. Multiple custom fields are supported.

    {
        "data": {
            "label": "label_2",
            "source": "Alibaba Group celebrates its 10th anniversary and establishes Alibaba Cloud"
        }
    }

    Fields:

    • label: Pre-labeled result generated offline.

    • source: Original data to label.

    For format requirements by labeling type, see Create a dataset for a labeling job. Incorrectly formatted manifest files cause pre-labeled results to display incorrectly.

  • Create the dataset from this manifest file as an OSS dataset. For more information, see Create and manage datasets.

Job configuration

When creating a labeling job, configure the parameters on the Intelligent Labeling Configurations wizard page.image

  • In the Service Configurations section, configure the parameters described in the following table.

    Parameter

    Description

    Labeling Method

    Labeling method:

    • Do Not Use: Disables intelligent labeling.

    • Use Offline Prelabeling Result: The dataset already contains pre-labeled results. iTAG displays the results for workers to review.

    • Online Service Prediction: The dataset does not contain pre-labeled results. iTAG calls an online prediction service to generate them.

    Mapping between Predicted Result and Topic

    Maps pre-labeled result columns in the manifest file to topic names.

    For multiple topics, click + Add Mapping between Predicted Result and Topic to add more column-to-topic mappings.

  • In the Service Configuration section, set the Effective Process parameter:

    • Prelabeling: Pre-labeled results apply only to the pre-labeling stage. Workers review and correct the results during formal labeling.

    • Formal Labeling: Pre-labeled results apply directly to formal labeling. Workers skip manual labeling and proceed to verification or acceptance.

Result example

Each question on the labeling page displays its pre-labeled result.预标注结果
