OBSERVATIONS

the confidence is a function of (total words)/(number of 99s).

consonants are more important than vowels!

for my purposes, target sentences will have to be carefully selected for my target test audience

THOUGHTS (Only for those who have signed non-competition waivers) :-)

When I do the calibrations for human judgements, I only need to ask the human to compare two sentences (a and b) and then decide whether a is better, b is better, or a and b are the same.
