Weedle: Composable Dashboard for Data-Centric NLP in Computational Notebooks

Data-centric NLP is a highly iterative process requiring careful exploration of text data throughout entire model development life-cycle. Unfortunately, existing data exploration tools are not suitable to support data-centric NLP because of workfow discontinuity and lack of support for unstructured text. In response, we propose Weedle, a seamless and customizable exploratory text analysis system for data-centric NLP. Weedle is equipped with built-in text transformation operations and a suite of visual analysis features. With its widget, users can compose customizable dashboards interactively and programmatically in computational notebooks.
