How to Use Natural Language Search
1. Enable Natural Language Search
- Where to Find It:
- Go to the settings section in your Labellerr workspace to see all your datasets, or open a specific dataset to get started.
- Activation:
- Look for the natural language search option in your dataset or workspace view.
2. Enter Your Search Prompt
- In the search bar, type a plain language description of what you’re looking for.
- Examples:
- “Dataset with a gray car”
- “Cake photo”
- “Birthday celebration image”
- “Red truck on highway”
- The system supports complex queries (e.g., “sunny beach with family”, “person with dog at park”).
3. Refine Your Results
- Adjust Confidence Level:
- If your prompt is ambiguous or returns too many results, use the confidence slider to make the search stricter or more relaxed.
- Show Matching Datasets/Images:
- Click on “Show Datasets” or “Show Images” to view and explore all files matching your prompt.
4. Browse and Organize
- Preview Results:
- Click on a result to see images and all related metadata and details.
- Organize:
- Use the search to help organize, label, or manage files and datasets as needed.
Key Benefits
- Super-Fast Search: Locates files and datasets in seconds—even with thousands of images or unorganized folders.
- More Than Filename Search: Works on image content, associated text, and metadata using AI.
- No Memory Burden: Don’t remember the file or dataset name? Just describe what you want.
- Powerful for Teams: Allows creators, businesses, and organizations to manage massive datasets or archives, regardless of storage backend (including Google Drive, cloud platforms, or local storage).
- Flexible Use Cases:
- Find specific photos, objects, or scenes
- Organize content for projects
- Accelerate annotation or content review
Best Practices
- Use descriptive and specific prompts for faster, more accurate results.
- Employ the confidence level adjustment to fine-tune searches.
- Organize search results into new datasets, or export relevant files for further use.
- Try natural language search for both images and non-image data (where supported).
