We\u2019ve built a demo at https://demo.happyrobot.ai
You can combine text and visual queries to specify what object you\u2019re looking to automatically label.
We think this could be useful to label an entire object detection dataset from scratch. That is, when you don\u2019t have any labels, since in those cases model-driven labeling (aka, active learning) does not work.
Please, feel free to comment and provide feedback on the demo! :)
