objective: mothers with a history of infertility may experience parenting difficulties and challenges. this study was conducted to investigate the role of residential early parenting services in increasing parenting confidence in mothers with a history of infertility. materials and methods: this was a retrospective chart review study using the quantitative data from the clients attending the ka...

This article describes an efficient procedure for computing approximate confidence levels for searches for new particles where the expected signal and background levels are small enough to require the use of Poisson statistics. The results of many independent searches for the same particle may be combined easily, regardless of the discriminating variables which may be measured for the candidate...

We present a supervised method for training a sentence level confidence measure on translation output using a humanannotated corpus. We evaluate a variety of machine learning methods. The resultant measure, while trained on a very small dataset, correlates well with human judgments, and proves to be effective on one task based evaluation. Although the experiments have only been run on one MT sy...

We describe some high-level approaches to estimating confidence scores for the words output by a speech recognizer. By “high-level” we mean that the proposed measures do not rely on decoder specific “side information” and so should find more general applicability than measures that have been developed for specific recognizers. Our main approach is to attempt to decouple the language modeling an...
