v1.27.0

🔆 Release highlights

Overlapping spans

We are finally releasing a much expected feature: overlapping spans. This allows you to draw more than one span over the same token(s)/character(s).

overlapping_spans.mp4

To try them out, set up a SpanQuestion with the argument allow_overlap=True like this:

dataset = rg.FeedbackDataset(
    fields = [rg.TextField(name="text")]
    questions = [
        rg.SpanQuestion(
            name="spans",
            labels=["label1", "label2", "label3"],
            field="text"
        )
    ]
)

Learn more about configuring this and other question types here.

Global progress bars

We’ve included a new column in our home page that offers the global progress of your datasets, so that you can see at a glance what datasets are closer to completion.

These bars show progress by grouping records based on the status of their responses:

• Submitted: Records where all responses have the submitted status.
• Discarded: Records where all responses have the discarded status.
• Conflicting: Records with at least one submitted and one discarded response.
• Left: All other records that have no submitted or discarded responses. These may be in pending or draft .

Suggestions got a new look

We’ve improved the way suggestions are shown in the UI to make their purpose clearer: now you can identify each suggestion with a sparkle icon ✨ .

The behavior is still the same:

• suggested values will appear pre-filled responses and marked with the sparkle icon.
• make changes the the incorrect suggestions, then save as a draft or submit.
• the icon will stay to mark the suggestions so you can compare the final response with the suggested one.

Increased label limits

We’ve increased the limit of labels you can use in Label, Multilabel and Span questions to 500. If you need to go beyond that number, you can set up a custom limit using the following environment variables:

• ARGILLA_LABEL_SELECTION_OPTIONS_MAX_ITEMS to set the limits in label and multi label questions.
• ARGILLA_SPAN_OPTIONS_MAX_ITEMS to set the limit in span questions.

Warning

The UI has been optimized to support up to 1000 labels. If you go beyond this limit, the UI may not be as responsive.

Argilla auf Deutsch!

Thanks to our contributor @paulbauriegel you can now use Argilla fully in German! If that is the main language of your browser, there is nothing you need to do, the UI will automatically detect that and switch to German.

Would you like to translate Argilla to your own language? Reach out to us and we'll help you!
