New Feature: Universal Data Tool Courses

With this update, we are introducing the training courses for Universal DataTool. With this feature now you can ensure that your labeler team is working not only in a streamlined way but with the best quality as well. The people working on a dataset will have to complete it before they can begin working on the labels.
Creating a training course is super easy and it can be done in just a few minutes. You can insert a dataset of your choice to be put in the training. This training contains questions, exercises, tests, and different editable options.

New Feature: Text Entity Relations

This is a much-awaited feature that was missing in the NLP(Natural Language Processing). This feature allows you to draw between different texts to create the relation. You can do it just by using a one-line command and it works super-fast. Not only that but you can also click on read more options to get additional commands and ways to use them which can be useful in different scenarios.

New Feature: Download Mask Button

This is a small but very useful feature that we have added in the latest update. With this feature, you can download the colored masks just by clicking on the button which is in the download options list.

New update: Brand new layout

With this new update, you can see a totally new layout of the options. It’s less cluttered and different options can be seen in different tabs. This makes using the Universal Data Tool easier than ever.

Other updates:

Feedback button: Now you can share the feedback with us by clicking on this little button on the right bottom corner of the page. It allows you to add the screenshots as well. (thanks @moufette)
New Homepage: Now we have a redesigned and cool looking Homepage which can give you more information and insight of the Universal Data Tool

That’s it for our forth community update, be sure to follow us on Twitter, or join our Slack to hear more!
