Snorkel: Fast Training Set Generation for Information Extraction
Summary: Snorkel enables training-set generation for information extraction via labeling functions encoding heuristics and weak supervision, with accuracy estimation. Noisy labels tolerated; model yields high accuracy on corporate-relations extraction from news. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
