Labeling instructions are essential for any large-scale labeling operation—whether your labeling team is in-house or outsourced. ML teams can leverage labeling instructions to communicate best practices with their labeling teams.

Labeling instructions best practices:

• Should include good and bad labeling examples.
• Should explain common confusion points to reduce idle time among your teams.
• Keep instructions up-to-date by curating content over time through various iterations.
