| Abstract | State-of-the art machine learning methods such as deep learning rely on large sets of hand-labeled training data. Collecting training data is prohibitively slow and expensive, especially when technical domain expertise is required; even the largest technology companies struggle with this challenge. We address this critical bottleneck with Snorkel, a new system for quickly creating, managing, and modeling training sets. Snorkel enables users to generate large volumes of training data by writing labeling functions, which are simple functions that express heuristics and other weak supervision strategies. These user-authored labeling functions may have low accuracies and may overlap and conflict, but Snorkel automatically learns their accuracies and synthesizes their output labels. Experiments and theory show that surprisingly, by modeling the labeling process in this way, we can train high-accuracy machine learning models even using potentially lower-accuracy inputs. Snorkel is currently used in production at top technology and consulting companies, and used by researchers to extract information from electronic health records, after-action combat reports, and the scientific literature. In this demonstration, we focus on the challenging task of information extraction, a common application of Snorkel in practice. Using the task of extracting corporate employment relationships from news articles, we will demonstrate and build intuition for a radically different way of developing machine learning systems which allows us to effectively bypass the bottleneck of hand-labeling training data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
