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

We develop a language-independent, deep learning-based approach to the task of morphological disambiguation.Guided by the intuition that the correct analysis should be "most similar" to the context, we propose dense representations for morphological analyses and surface context and a simple yet effective way of combining the two to perform disambiguation.Our approach improves on the languagedependent state of the art for two agglutinative languages (Turkish and Kazakh) and can be potentially applied to other morphologically complex languages.
