How It Works
HEDit uses a multi-agent system (LangGraph) with feedback loops:
- Annotation Agent - Generates initial HED tags
- Validation Agent - Checks syntax and tag validity
- Evaluation Agent - Assesses faithfulness to input
- Assessment Agent - Identifies missing elements
Annotations are automatically refined until validation passes.
