UniversalLabeler
A loss-audited interchange format for multilingual world-model annotations.
UniversalLabeler separates what happened from how a language describes it. A source annotation is represented as small, evidence-linked claims—action, participants, hand roles, objects, state change, place, time and outcome. Human language captions and dataset-native labels are projections of the same packet, with omissions recorded rather than hidden.
This is a public data and schema release. It does not include a translation service, model prompts or private processing infrastructure.
Release 1.0.5
| Label-language profiles | 19 |
| Human languages | 5 |
| World-model dimensions | 22 |
| Typed annotation kinds | 13 |
| Controlled conformance frames | 6 |
| Language surfaces | 30 |
| License | Apache-2.0 |
Human-language profiles currently cover English, Simplified Chinese, Tagalog, Spanish and experimental Hindi. The controlled examples are test fixtures, not a general-purpose translation benchmark.

The packet is compositional rather than a fixed dictionary of every possible verb and noun. Concepts receive stable identifiers; semantic roles describe their relationship to an event; evidence and source-clock selectors bind each claim to the underlying record. Language-specific grammar remains in the projection layer.

Reproducibility and validation records |
An interactive explanation is included at demo/index.html. Each of its four
first-person event images is a generated, synthetic visual preview—not upstream
evidence or a source-dataset frame.
Recommended workflow
- Pin the source dataset, schema revision and native record.
- Preserve the native record and content digest.
- Encode only evidence-supported atomic claims. Mark missing dimensions as not collected, not applicable or unknown.
- Render every target language directly from the same claim packet; do not use one translated language as the source for the next.
- Record represented and omitted claim IDs for every projection.
- Validate against the included schemas.
- Require independent bilingual and evidence-grounded review before accepting generated language as dataset annotation.
Evaluation boundary
Release validation checks schema correctness, content addressing, ontology
references, semantic equivalence across the controlled matrix, private-data
markers and byte-identical rebuilds. Exact results and hashes are in
metadata/validation.json and SHA256SUMS.
These checks establish format conformance. They do not establish open-vocabulary
translation quality. Round trips can reproduce the same mistake twice;
production releases still require bilingual review against video or other
source evidence. The proposed acceptance thresholds and adversarial strata are
specified in rubrics/EVALUATION_PROTOCOL.md.
Known limits
- The six controlled frames cover predicate–patient directives only.
- Chinese aspect and classifiers, Tagalog voice/pivot, Spanish morphology, Hindi agreement, code switching, negation and quantifier scope need broader reviewed data.
- The supervision audit identifies common world-model dimensions; it does not claim complete adapters for every upstream dataset.
- Synthetic receipt identifiers are not evidence of human review.
