Punctuation Detection and Correction for Czech
Abstract: Punctuation detection belongs to important tasks in automatic
checking of grammar, especially for the Czech language. However, it is one of
the most difficult tasks as well, unlike e.g. correcting simple spelling errors.
There are several automatic tools that partly solve the problem: Two commercial
grammar checkers for Czech (which also try to correct other types of errors, but
we will deal with their punctuation correction features only) and some academic
projects, mainly focused on correcting punctuation. The lecture will introduce
and thoroughly compare the available tools for this task, including our solution
that outperforms the state-of-the-art tools in certain important aspects. We
will discuss the accuracy results and the options for further development.
