hi @AakankshaP!

Thanks for the background.

@AakankshaP

The purpose of annotating the text together is to keep into account of the history of events as some complicated text cannot be easily labeled without the context

Ah gotcha. That makes sense.

This reminds me of this custom recipe I created. A user wanted to annotate sentences with a binary classification (like your wait/active) but wanted to provide the full context of the paragraph. In addition, their documents were sequential, so I created this custom recipe to start from the first paragraph, loop through each sentence with a highlight so the annotator knew which sentence was being annotated, then move to the next paragraph.

Classify sentences with paragraph visible

hi @rosamond! Thanks for your question and welcome to the Prodigy community Thanks for the excellent background! That helped me a lot. Would something like this work? [textcat_sent_sequence] It's a custom recipe that loops through highlighting each sentence for binary classification within context (paragraph). It has two user experience designs to enable faster annotations. First, since it's framed as a binary task, you can quickly annotate with key bindings (no mouse or span highl…

No sentences are not structured as paragraphs, rather they are just 1-2 line sentences

I know you mentioned your sentences are not structured as paragraphs -- but perhaps you could combine the sentences together you want to be shown together in the UI, but then use the highlighting to represent which sentence the user is actually annotating at a time.

The link includes a GitHub gist I created with the code and example.

Does this help?
