Create a dataset

dataset = client.create_dataset(name="WikiNEuRal Text NER")

Set up ontology

This example requires a custom metadata string field named language. For help, see Custom fields.

metadata_ontology = client.get_data_row_metadata_ontology()
## Create a custom metadata schema called language of string kind: https://docs.labelbox.com/docs/datarow-metadata#custom-fields
language_field = metadata_ontology.custom_by_name["language"]
embedding_field = metadata_ontology.reserved_by_name["embedding"]
ontology = OntologyBuilder()
PER = Tool(tool = Tool.Type.NER, name = "PER")             
ontology.add_tool(PER)
ORG = Tool(tool = Tool.Type.NER, name = "ORG")             
ontology.add_tool(ORG)
LOC = Tool(tool = Tool.Type.NER, name = "LOC")             
ontology.add_tool(LOC)
MISC = Tool(tool = Tool.Type.NER, name = "MISC")             
ontology.add_tool(MISC)

ontology = client.create_ontology("WikiNEuRal Text NER", ontology.asdict())

Set up a labeling project

project = client.create_project(name = "WikiNEuRal Text NER", media_type=MediaType.Text)
project.setup_editor(ontology)
ontology_from_project = OntologyBuilder.from_project(project)
project.update(queue_mode=project.QueueMode.Batch)

Process and create data row payload in batches

tuples = []
for item in datasets:
  # if item == "train_en":
  for h, text_data_row in enumerate(datasets[item]):
    tuples.append((h, text_data_row, item))

chunked_tuples = list()
for i in range(0, len(tuples), BATCH_SIZE):
    chunked_tuples.append(tuples[i:i+BATCH_SIZE])

Main iterator loop to import data

for chunk in chunked_tuples:
  start_time = time.time()
  current_index = chunked_tuples.index(chunk)
  print("Executing {} of {} iteration".format(current_index, len(chunked_tuples)))

  ## Generate data row payload
  data_rows = []
  for item in tqdm.tqdm(chunk):
    datarow,label = create_data_rows_payload(item)
    data_rows.append(datarow)

  ## Create data rows in Labelbox
  task = dataset.create_data_rows(data_rows)
  task.wait_till_done()
  print(task)

  ## Submit a batch of the recently created data rows
  batch_datarows = []
  for item in task.result:
    batch_datarows.append(item['id'])

  batch = project.create_batch(
    str(current_index) + "_" + str(binascii.b2a_hex(os.urandom(5))), # name of the batch
    batch_datarows, # list of Data Rows
    1 # priority between 1-5
  )

  ## Generate model predictions
  ground_truth_list = LabelList()
  results = []

  for item in tqdm.tqdm(task.result):
    result = generate_predictions(item)
    ground_truth_list.append(Label(
          data=result[0],
          annotations = result[1]
      ))

  ## Convert model predictions to NDJSON format
  ground_truth_list.assign_feature_schema_ids(OntologyBuilder.from_project(project))
  ground_truth_ndjson = list(NDJsonConverter.serialize(ground_truth_list))

  ## Upload model predictions as ground truth
  upload_task = LabelImport.create_from_objects(client, project.uid, f"upload-job-{uuid4()}", ground_truth_ndjson)
  upload_task.wait_until_done()
  print(upload_task.errors)
