Dependency and Relations with Span Categorizations

[anakin_skywalker]

Hi for creating manual relationships and dependencies (rel.span recipe), do you support loading in text data with span categorizations (in addition to NER entitites)? I have annotations that will have overlaps in their span categorizations and I also want to define relationships between these potentially overlapping spans (and tokens).

Thanks!

Hi @anakin_skywalker,

Have you seen this post?

Using rel.manual with nested entities.

Hi! The relations UI currently only visualises one level of spans – you're already able to connect every token to every other token or span, so including overlapping and nested spans in the same interface can easily get very messy and you'd lose a lot of the advantage of visualising relationships as arrows like this. If your data includes this level of complexity, one option could be to focus on connecting one concept a a time, for example, relationships of Task spans to each other, or relation…
