GlossAssist -- A Tool to Simplify Corpus Creation and Study the Effect of NLP Models in Low-Resource Documentation Settings
Researchers have developed GlossAssist, a new tool designed to simplify the creation of interlinear glossed text (IGT) for linguistic annotation. This tool addresses the slow and costly nature of manual IGT production by integrating an active learning approach. GlossAssist uses a retrieval-based architecture that allows annotators to correct predictions, which in turn expands a mutable lexicon and improves future model performance without requiring full model retraining.
