Estimation Of The Effects Of Parental Measures On Child Aggression Using Structural Equation Modeling, Jordan Daniel Pyper
Estimation Of The Effects Of Parental Measures On Child Aggression Using Structural Equation Modeling, Jordan Daniel Pyper
Theses and Dissertations
A child's parents are the primary source of knowledge and learned behaviors for developing children, and the benefits or repercussions of certain parental practices can be long lasting. Although parenting practices affect behavioral outcomes for children, families tend to be diverse in their circumstances and needs. Research attempting to ascertain cause and effect relationships between parental influences and child behavior can be difficult due to the complex nature of family dynamics and the intricacies of real life. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is an appropriate method for this research as it is able to account for the complicated nature of child-parent …
Improving The Effectiveness Of Machine-Assisted Annotation, Paul L. Felt
Improving The Effectiveness Of Machine-Assisted Annotation, Paul L. Felt
Theses and Dissertations
Annotated textual corpora are an essential language resource, facilitating manual search and discovery as well as supporting supervised Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques designed to accomplishing a variety of useful tasks. However, manual annotation of large textual corpora can be cost-prohibitive, especially for rare and under-resourced languages. For this reason, developers of annotated corpora often attempt to reduce annotation cost by offering annotators various forms of machine assistance intended to increase annotator speed and accuracy. This thesis contributes to the field of annotated corpus development by providing tools and methodologies for empirically evaluating the effectiveness of machine assistance techniques. This …
