In Snorkel human experts write (noisy) labelling functions, aka heuristics, but in Snuba the system itself generates its own heuristics! F1 points in terms of end model performance. Allowing heuristics to abstain from labelling datapoints where they have low confidence is a key part of how Snuba achieves its final performance.
