Note. We include the size of the network representation (or number of words the model makes predictions for), the average negative log-likelihood for each unseen snapshot. We also report the value of an F-test for nested models comparing the CDI-only model to the model containing word importance based on the network growth process. We include the overlap between the words learned by the child and the top words as predicted by the model or percent overlap (). Considering all predictions, we report the area under the curve (AUC) using ROC, accuracy, precision, and recall.
