Validation of matching

open access: yes2016 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2016
We introduce a technique to compute probably approximately correct (PAC) bounds on precision and recall for matching algorithms. The bounds require some verified matches, but those matches may be used to develop the algorithms. The bounds can be applied to network reconciliation or entity resolution algorithms, which identify nodes in different ...

Validation and validity beyond Messick

open access: yesPer Linguam, 2013
Following the texts of the Messick (1981: 10; 1980: 1023) formulations more closely, another representation of his well-known “Facets of validity” matrix is possible. This matrix can be read as four claims about language testing (“The technical adequacy of inferences made from test scores depends on multiple sources of empirical evidence; The ...
