The global performance of the algorithm was assessed using the true positive rate (TPR, number of positive regions correctly classified over the total number of positive descriptors), false positive rate (FPR, number of false positives over the total number of negative descriptors), and true negative rate (TNR = 1-FPR), where man-made structure is the positive class.
Now, former Speaker of the House John Boehner has added to the long list of negative descriptors attached to Cruz, telling a group at Stanford University Wednesday that the Texas senator was "Lucifer in the flesh," according the Stanford Daily campus publication.
The way I see it, all these negative descriptors are thrown at us to cover up the fact that we tend to stick up for ourselves and say what's on our mind.
The influence of this factor on the DTs suggests that participants used the words to prepare to make decisions that were consistent with the valence of the adjectives and this led to faster acceptance responses after positive words and faster rejection choices after negative descriptors.
Urban background students generally used complex language and more negative descriptors.
The existence of negative descriptors for GTAs has raised concerns about using GTAs as instructors at universities.
Meanwhile, professors have been described with positive descriptors such as respected and organized, but negative descriptors such as strict, boring, and distant (Kendall and Schussler, 2012).
Yet, they have also been identified with negative descriptors, including lacking confidence, knowledge, experience, and authority (Park, 2002; Dudley, 2009; Muzaka, 2009; Kendall and Schussler, 2012).
Even when differences between instructor types were identified, GTAs increased in ratings for many descriptors viewed as positive by undergraduates, while they decreased in some negative descriptors over the course of a semester.
