Abstract
Large unlabeled datasets demand efficient and scalable data labeling solutions, in particular when the number of instances and classes is large. This leads to significant visual scalability challenges and imposes a high cognitive load on the users. Traditional instance-centric labeling methods, where (single) instances are labeled in each iteration struggle to scale effectively in these scenarios. To address these challenges, we introduce cVIL, a Class-Centric Visual Interactive Labeling methodology designed for interactive visual data labeling. By shifting the paradigm from assigning-classes-to-instances to assigning-instances-to-classes, cVIL reduces labeling effort and enhances efficiency for annotators working with large, complex and class-rich datasets. We propose a novel visual analytics labeling interface built on top of the conceptual cVIL workflow, enabling improved scalability…
