standing by language · 4 benchmarked

Each bar compares this model with the best other model in that language, on a log scale: left of center it is ahead, right of center behind, and the other model is named on the row. The two error rates use the legend colors: this model first, the other model second. Faded bars are ties, where the 95% confidence intervals overlap. Sorted strongest standing first.
