Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article discusses the process of building a language entropy model, which is an important tool for analyzing and evaluating the information structure of a language. The paper also describes the installation and use of the Apache Spark distributed framework for unstructured data storage and parallel computing. Apache Spark provides high performance and scalability, which is especially important when processing large amounts of data. The authors offer useful recommendations and practical solutions for developers and researchers working with language analysis and processing of unstructured data.
