Stop training an annotator once the process has started

It's somewhat easy to accidentally train an annotator and it wastes 10-15 minutes if this happens. A "stop training" button would be helpful. Alternatively, a "Are you sure you want to train your annotator?" prompt. I've done this several times, b...

Improve visualization of Entity Roles, Entity Subtypes, Mention Types, and Mention Classes

When annotating a role or subtype, there is no visual cue for the Entity Role, the Entity SubType, the Mention Type, or the Mention Class. There could perhaps be colored icons appearing below the annotation to display this

Allow tooling users to be able to save queries inside of tooling

When iterating in Discovery, especially when experimenting with multiple and more complex queries it would be very useful to be able to save my query once I have it in suitable shape so I can iterate on another one without losing my work.

Add 'enriched:true/false' to the Fields API

Currently in tooling, Sample Queries, Insight Cards, and the soon-to-be Schema Explorer can only expose enrichments if there is a field called `enriched_text`. We need to be smarter than this so tooling can pull out any field that was enriched, no...

Allows relevancy training web tooling users to specify the relevancy value of the document

Applying NLU enrichments on the question

Many times, customer assumes that WDS will apply enrichments to the question also and use that to help in search. This is not currently the case. WDS need to have a way where by default (or by config) NLU enrichments can be applied on the question...

Ingest Data directly through POST

The official Discovery API currently only supports document submission via multipart/form-dataPOST operations. I would like to post data directly in the ingestion request: curl -u "{username}":"{password}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" ...

Delete All Documents API

Right now if you want to delete all documents, you either need to delete the collection (which could mean code changes to point to a new ID), or you need to write a script to delete every document one by one which is time consuming.
