Snorkel: Rapid Training Data Creation with Weak Supervision

Summary: Snorkel enables rapid ML training from weak supervision via labeling functions with unknown accuracies. End-to-end data programming denoises labels without ground truth, with a tradeoff optimizer, showing speedups and accuracy gains over hand labeling. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
