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.

As the number falls,alternatives to the Hagberg–Perten falling number method: A review

This review examines the application, limitations, and potential alternatives to the Hagberg–Perten falling number (FN) method used in the global wheat industry for detecting the risk of poor end-product quality mainly due to starch degradation by the enzyme α-amylase. By viscometry, the FN test indirectly detects the presence of α-amylase, the primary enzyme that digests starch. Elevated α-amylase results in low FN and damages wheat product quality resulting in cakes that fall, and sticky bread and noodles. Low FN can occur from preharvest sprouting (PHS) and late maturity α-amylase (LMA). Moist or rainy conditions before harvest cause PHS on the mother plant. Continuously cool or fluctuating temperatures during the grain filling stage cause LMA. Due to the expression of additional hydrolytic enzymes, PHS has a stronger negative impact than LMA. Wheat grain with low FN/high α-amylase results in serious losses for farmers, traders, millers, and bakers worldwide. Although blending of low FN grain with sound wheat may be used as a means of moving affected grain through the marketplace, care must be taken to avoid grain lots from falling below contract-specified FN. A large amount of sound wheat can be ruined if mixed with a small amount of sprouted wheat. The FN method is widely employed to detect α-amylase after harvest. However, it has several limitations, including sampling variability, high cost, labor intensiveness, the destructive nature of the test, and an inability to differentiate between LMA and PHS. Faster, cheaper, and more accurate alternatives could improve breeding for resistance to PHS and LMA and could preserve the value of wheat grain by avoiding inadvertent mixing of high- and low-FN grain by enabling testing at more stages of the value stream including at harvest, delivery, transport, storage, and milling. Alternatives to the FN method explored here include the Rapid Visco Analyzer, enzyme assays, immunoassays, near-infrared spectroscopy, and hyperspectral imaging.
