Creates a job that uses workers to label the data objects in your input dataset. You can use the labeled data to train machine learning models.

You can select your workforce from one of three providers:

A private workforce that you create. It can include employees, contractors, and outside experts. Use a private workforce when want the data to stay within your organization or when a specific set of skills is required.
One or more vendors that you select from the Amazon Web Services Marketplace. Vendors provide expertise in specific areas.
The Amazon Mechanical Turk workforce. This is the largest workforce, but it should only be used for public data or data that has been stripped of any personally identifiable information.

You can also use automated data labeling to reduce the number of data objects that need to be labeled by a human. Automated data labeling uses active learning to determine if a data object can be labeled by machine or if it needs to be sent to a human worker. For more information, see Using Automated Data Labeling.

The data objects to be labeled are contained in an Amazon S3 bucket. You create a manifest file that describes the location of each object. For more information, see Using Input and Output Data.

The output can be used as the manifest file for another labeling job or as training data for your machine learning models.

You can use this operation to create a static labeling job or a streaming labeling job. A static labeling job stops if all data objects in the input manifest file identified in ManifestS3Uri have been labeled. A streaming labeling job runs perpetually until it is manually stopped, or remains idle for 10 days. You can send new data objects to an active (InProgress) streaming labeling job in real time. To learn how to create a static labeling job, see Create a Labeling Job (API) in the Amazon SageMaker Developer Guide. To learn how to create a streaming labeling job, see Create a Streaming Labeling Job.

Headers

X-Amz-Target'SageMaker.CreateLabelingJob' required

Request body

LabelingJobNamestring required

The name of the labeling job. This name is used to identify the job in a list of labeling jobs. Labeling job names must be unique within an Amazon Web Services account and region. <code>LabelingJobName</code> is not case sensitive. For example, Example-job and example-job are considered the same labeling job name by Ground Truth.

LabelAttributeNamestring required

The attribute name to use for the label in the output manifest file. This is the key for the key/value pair formed with the label that a worker assigns to the object. The <code>LabelAttributeName</code> must meet the following requirements. <ul> <li> The name can't end with "-metadata". </li> <li> If you are using one of the following <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/sms-task-types.html">built-in task types</a>, the attribute name must end with "-ref". If the task type you are using is not listed below, the attribute name must not end with "-ref". <ul> <li> Image semantic segmentation (<code>SemanticSegmentation)</code>, and adjustment (<code>AdjustmentSemanticSegmentation</code>) and verification (<code>VerificationSemanticSegmentation</code>) labeling jobs for this task type. </li> <li> Video frame object detection (<code>VideoObjectDetection</code>), and adjustment and verification (<code>AdjustmentVideoObjectDetection</code>) labeling jobs for this task type. </li> <li> Video frame object tracking (<code>VideoObjectTracking</code>), and adjustment and verification (<code>AdjustmentVideoObjectTracking</code>) labeling jobs for this task type. </li> <li> 3D point cloud semantic segmentation (<code>3DPointCloudSemanticSegmentation</code>), and adjustment and verification (<code>Adjustment3DPointCloudSemanticSegmentation</code>) labeling jobs for this task type. </li> <li> 3D point cloud object tracking (<code>3DPointCloudObjectTracking</code>), and adjustment and verification (<code>Adjustment3DPointCloudObjectTracking</code>) labeling jobs for this task type. </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <important> If you are creating an adjustment or verification labeling job, you must use a different <code>LabelAttributeName</code> than the one used in the original labeling job. The original labeling job is the Ground Truth labeling job that produced the labels that you want verified or adjusted. To learn more about adjustment and verification labeling jobs, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/sms-verification-data.html">Verify and Adjust Labels</a>. </important>

RoleArnstring required

The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) that Amazon SageMaker assumes to perform tasks on your behalf during data labeling. You must grant this role the necessary permissions so that Amazon SageMaker can successfully complete data labeling.

LabelCategoryConfigS3Uristring

The S3 URI of the file, referred to as a label category configuration file, that defines the categories used to label the data objects. For 3D point cloud and video frame task types, you can add label category attributes and frame attributes to your label category configuration file. To learn how, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/sms-point-cloud-label-category-config.html">Create a Labeling Category Configuration File for 3D Point Cloud Labeling Jobs</a>. For named entity recognition jobs, in addition to <code>"labels"</code>, you must provide worker instructions in the label category configuration file using the <code>"instructions"</code> parameter: <code>"instructions": {"shortInstruction":"<h1>Add header</h1>Add Instructions", "fullInstruction":"Add additional instructions."}</code>. For details and an example, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/sms-named-entity-recg.html#sms-creating-ner-api">Create a Named Entity Recognition Labeling Job (API) </a>. For all other <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/sms-task-types.html">built-in task types</a> and <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/sms-custom-templates.html">custom tasks</a>, your label category configuration file must be a JSON file in the following format. Identify the labels you want to use by replacing <code>label_1</code>, <code>label_2</code>,<code>...</code>,<code>label_n</code> with your label categories. <code>{ </code> <code>"document-version": "2018-11-28",</code> <code>"labels": [{"label": "label_1"},{"label": "label_2"},...{"label": "label_n"}]</code> <code>}</code> Note the following about the label category configuration file: <ul> <li> For image classification and text classification (single and multi-label) you must specify at least two label categories. For all other task types, the minimum number of label categories required is one. </li> <li> Each label category must be unique, you cannot specify duplicate label categories. </li> <li> If you create a 3D point cloud or video frame adjustment or verification labeling job, you must include <code>auditLabelAttributeName</code> in the label category configuration. Use this parameter to enter the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/APIReference/API_CreateLabelingJob.html#sagemaker-CreateLabelingJob-request-LabelAttributeName"> <code>LabelAttributeName</code> </a> of the labeling job you want to adjust or verify annotations of. </li> </ul>

Response

Success

LabelingJobArnstring required

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the labeling job. You use this ARN to identify the labeling job.
