Abstract:
In this talk, I present a contextual feature-based approach to the
automatic acquisition of preposition and determiner models of
use. These models can associate prepositions and determiners to their
context with 70.12% and 92.15% accuracy respectively for grammatical
text. I also show how they can be used for the automatic detection of
errors in non-native English writing, and illustrate some of the
challenges presented by this task
