Describe it in words and write a formula for P(i) (corr(i) should be pretty clear from the text). - Draw (or describe in words) a curve of best possible system into Figure 2. - Explain the "termness" feature type, give an example of a feature showing termness of a string and explain what "kind of low-termness instances" it helps to eliminate. - What is the difference between entity extraction and named entity extraction task? - What is sum_{i=1}^{|L|}corr(i) for Athletes and B3 in the evaluation?
