Justification for the Use of Cohen’s Kappa Statistic in Experimental Studies of NLP and Text Mining

Modern metrics for evaluating agreement coefficients between the experimental results and expert opinion are compared, and the possibility of using these metrics in experimental research in automatic text processing by machine learning methods is assessed. The choice of Cohen’s kappa coefficient as a measure of expert opinion agreement in the NLP and Text Mining problems is justified. An example of using Cohen’s kappa coefficient for evaluating the level of agreement between the opinion of an expert and the results of ML classification and the measure of agreement of expert opinions in the alignment of sentences of the Kazakh-Russian parallel corpus is given. Based on this analysis, it is proved that Cohen’s kappa coefficient is one of the best statistical methods for determining the level of agreement in experimental studies due to its ease of use, computing simplicity, and high accuracy of the results.

Influence of SiC microstructure on its corrosion behavior in molten FLiNaK salt

The influence of the microstructure on the corrosion rate of three monolithic SiC samples in FLiNaK salt at 900 °C for 250 h was studied. The SiC samples, labeled as SiC-1, SiC-2, and SiC-3, had corrosion rates of 0.137, 0.020, and 0.043 mg/cm²h, respectively. Compared with grain size and the presence of special grain boundaries (i.e., Σ3), the content of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) appeared to have the strongest influence on the corrosion rate of SiC in FLiNaK salt, since the corrosion rate increased six times as the concentration of high-angle grain boundaries increased from 19 to 32% for SiC-2 and SiC-1, respectively. These results stress the importance of controlling the content of HAGBs during the production process of SiC.

Spray pressure variation effect on the properties of CdS thin films for photodetector applications

Herein, we report the photosensing property of CdS thin films. CdS thin films were coated onto glass substrates via a spray pyrolysis method using different spray pressures. Prepared films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical and photoluminescence spectroscopy. XRD analysis demonstrated the growth of crystalline CdS films with crystallite sizes varying from 26 to 29 nm depending on the pressure. The SEM and EDAX analyses revealed nearly-stoichiometric CdS films with smooth surfaces and slight variation in grain morphology due to pressure changes. Optical measurements showed a direct bandgap varying from 2.37 eV to 2.42 eV due to pressure changes. A photodetector was also fabricated using the grown CdS films; the fabricated photodetector exhibited good performance depending on the spray pressure. A spray pressure of 1.5 GPa resulted in high photoresponsivity and external quantum efficiency.
