Venses @ AcCompl-It: Computing Complexity vs Acceptability with a Constituent Trigram Model and Semantics

In this paper we present work carried out for the Ac-ComplIt task. ItVENSES is a system for syntactic and semantic processing that is based on the parser for Italian called ItGetaruns to analyse each sentence. In previous EVALITA tasks we only used semantics to produce the results. In this year EVALITA, we used both a statistically based approach and the semantic one used previously. The statistic approach is characterized by the use of trigrams of constituents computed by the system and checked against a trigram model derived from the constituency version of VIT – Venice Italian Treebank. Results measured in term of a correlation, are not particularly high, below 50% the Acceptability task and slightly over 30% the Complexity one.
