Experiment for Programming 3B

 

Purpose: Automatic identity recognition using the probabilistic conceptual approach we discussed in the class.

Context: Consider the settings for the showcase explored in the beginning of the semester again: Johnny, Winnie, Manny, and Cathy use their one-dimensional keyboard (as described in the handout) to type the Biola vision statement and because of typos in the process we have a collection of 8 text files A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H (all updated Sept. 3). Each of the eight documents was typed by one of Johnny, Winnie, Manny, and Cathy.

Approach: Apply the probabilistic conceptual approach to determine for each of the documents A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H the most likely person who has generated the document when trying to type the Biola vision statement.

        i.            What to do: (a) First, use option D provided by the demo executable to determine log Pr(d |p) for each document d and each person p. Record all the numerical results you got and determine the most likely author for each document d. (b) Second, do the same things again except that this time use your own program for Programming#3B to determine log Pr(d |p) for each document d and each person p. Record all the numerical results you got and determine the most likely author for each document d.

      ii.            What to report: Record in the self-evaluation report for Programming 3B all the numerical results and the answers about the most likely author for each document in (a) and (b) above.
