Sequence Labeling

Fact

An NLP task that assigns a label to each item in a sequence.

In Plain Words

Sequence labeling is name-tag day for every word. Bob says “person.” Paris says “place.” And “the” gets a tiny shrug.

NLP uses it to split text into words. It also marks word jobs, names, and places.
