Use of articles and other determiners with possessives in Italian
GABRIŠKOVÁ, Denisa
The aim of this Bachelor's thesis is to describe the usage of articles and other determinants by possessives. The thesis is divided into two two parts. The goal of the first theoretical part is to describe the theory of possessives with help of the bibliography, primarily their position in relation to articles and determinants. After that the theoretical part aims at the position of possessives in the sentence, their development in history and their comparison with other languages. In the second theoretical part the position of articles and determinants of possessives will be verified using InterCorp. Particularly this part focuses on family members and relatives, the core of this thesis, and the word order in sentences. Finally, all results will be found in a table.
English grammar checker and corrector: the determiners
Auersperger, Michal ; Pecina, Pavel (advisor) ; Straňák, Pavel (referee)
Correction of the articles in English texts is approached as an article generation task, i.e. each noun phrase is assigned with a class corresponding to the definite, indefinite or zero article. Supervised machine learning methods are used to first replicate and then improve upon the best reported result in the literature known to the author. By feature engineering and a different choice of the learning method, about 34% drop in error is achieved. The resulting model is further compared to the performance of expert annotators. Although the comparison is not straightforward due to the differences in the data, the results indicate the performance of the trained model is comparable to the human-level performance when measured on the in-domain data. On the other hand, the model does not generalize well to different types of data. Using a large-scale language model to predict an article (or no article) for each word of the text has not proved successful. 1
