Reading Snorkel it initially sounded like magic in the bad way, but this does make it clear that if your labelling functions are garbage or have certain kinds of problems there&amp;#x27;s nothing they can do about it. Even leaving aside the generative model I think the focus on function-based data bootstrapping is great, which…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1703.00854/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
