Adaptive Rule Discovery for Labeling Text Data

Summary: Weakly supervised labeling of text with feedback; Darwin auto-generates and refines rules from an initial cue and scales to 1M+ sentences. CFG-based labeling functions; yields ~40% more positives than Snuba with the same effort. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
