    	<h2>Introduction</h2>
        <p>With the advances of machine learning, the necessity for larger datasets has grown stronger. This issue is even more critical in the field of affective computing, where collecting large amounts of emotional data can be an arduous task as existing annotation frameworks often require installation, programming knowledge, or direct researcher supervision.</p>

		<p>PAGAN [Platform for Audiovisual General-purpose ANnotation] was designed to address these issues by providing an easy-to-use framework for multi-purpose audiovisual annotation.</p>
