Log-Linear Modeling of Agreement among Expert Exposure Assessors

Log - Linear Modeling and Logistic Regression

Agreement Among Dental Students, Peer Assessors, and Tutor in Assessing Students' Competence in Preclinical Skills.

The aim of this study was to determine the level of agreement regarding assessments of competence among dental students, their student peers, and their clinical skills tutors in a preclinical skills program. In 2012-13 at the University of Edinburgh, second-year dental students learned to perform the following seven cavity preparations/restorations on primary and permanent Frasaco teeth: single...

Lexicalized Stochastic Modeling of Constraint - Based Grammarsusing Log - Linear Measures

We present a new approach to stochastic modeling of constraint-based grammars that is based on log-linear models and uses EM for estimation from unannotated data. The techniques are applied to an LFG grammar for German. Evaluation on an exact match task yields 86% precision for an ambiguity rate of 5.4, and 90% precision on a subcat frame match for an ambiguity rate of 25. Experimental comparis...

Log-linear Modeling Under Generalized Inverse Sampling Scheme

SUMMARY This paper discusses the log-linear model for multi-way contingency table , where the cell values represent the frequency counts that follow an extended negative multinomial distribution. This is an extension of negative multinomial log-linear model described by Evans (1989). The parameters of the new model are estimated by maximum likelihood method. The likelihood ratio test for the ge...

A log-linear discriminative modeling framework for speech recognition

Conventional speech recognition systems are based on Gaussian hidden Markov models (HMMs). Discriminative techniques such as log-linear modeling have been investigated in speech recognition only recently. This thesis establishes a log-linear modeling framework in the context of discriminative training criteria, with examples from continuous speech recognition, part-of-speech tagging, and handwr...
