What is
Entity Annotation?

Entity annotation is the process of labeling named entities (e.g. people, organizations, products) within a sections or pages of text. Named entity datasets train models to understand the structure and meaning behind a piece of text—a critical pre-processing step for many other natural language processing (NLP) tasks.

TaskUs has over a decade of experience helping the world’s leading companies develop named entity recognition (NER) systems. Our diverse, dynamic, and digital-savvy Teammates can handle entity annotation projects in 150+ languages to ensure that every entity in your text is identified and labeled to improve your model.
