annotator
Adds explanatory notes
An annotator is someone who adds notes, comments, or explanatory material to a text or document.
In academic publishing, annotators provide scholarly apparatus—footnotes, marginalia, commentary—to illuminate difficult passages: The annotator traced every classical allusion in the poem.
In machine learning, annotators label training data, marking up images or text so algorithms can learn from human judgment.
