A Logistic Regression Model of Determiner Omission in PPs

The realization of singular count nouns without an accompanying determiner inside a PP (determinerless PP, bare PP, Preposition-Noun Combination) has recently attracted some interest in computational linguistics. Yet, the relevant factors for determiner omission remain unclear, and conditions for determiner omission vary from language to language. We present a logistic regression model of determiner omission in German based on data obtained by applying annotation mining to a large, automatically and manually annotated corpus. 1 The problem and how to deal with it Preposition-Noun Combinations (PNCs, sometimes called determinerless PPs or bare PPs) minimally consist of a preposition and a count noun in the singular that
