Abstract: Embodiments introduce an approach to semi-automatically generate labels for data based on implementation of a clustering or language model prompting technique and can be used to implement a form of programmatic labeling to accelerate the development of classifiers and other forms of models. The disclosed methodology is particularly helpful in generating labels or annotations for unstructured data. In some embodiments, the disclosed approach may be used with data in the form of text, images, or other form of unstructured data.
