Thanks for the detailed reply!
So, what can we conclude by comparing these results to your previous one of the VMS? Does NMF find the difference between Voynichese A and B greater or smaller than that between Spanish and Portuguese? Or that between official and phonetic Portuguese? I mean, in terms of number of apparently mis-classified pages?
Those ambigous parags that you listed are barely above the 5 word cut-off. I suppose that the NMF is more accurate when it works with bigger chunks of text. You analyzed the VMS at both the page and parag level, right? But the VMS parags are still rather large. How would the NMF perform if you deleted from the PT+ES dataset all parags with less than (say) 30 words? Would it get a perfect score?
All the best, --jorge
