Langues/ religions/ systèmes scolaires : l'identité tchadienne et les apports de la France

Questo elaborato mira ad analizzare i rapporti tra la Francia, in quanto colonizzatore in Africa, e il Ciad e l'influenza da essa esercitata sul piano religioso,linguistico e culturale. In primis viene presentata la situazione linguistico-culturale del Ciad, diviso internamente tra Nord e Sud. Poi vengono confrontati il sistema scolastico francese e quello arabo sia dal punto di vista dell'organizzazione che di partecipazione e importanza, e analizzate le conflittualità tra questi due sistemi. Infine, dopo essersi concentrati sui problemi dell'istruzione in Ciad, si dibatte sulla possibilità di risolvere le situazioni di conflitto che lo stato presenta.

Quality and Aspect based Argument Generation

Natural Language Processing has always been one of the most popular topics in Artificial Intelligence. Argument-related research in NLP, such as argument detection, argument mining and argument generation, has been popular, especially in recent years. In our daily lives, we use arguments to express ourselves. The quality of arguments heavily impacts the effectiveness of our communications with others. In professional fields, such as legislation and academic areas, arguments of good quality play an even more critical role. Therefore, argument generation with good quality is a challenging research task that is also of great importance in NLP. The aim of this work is to investigate the automatic generation of arguments with good quality, according to the given topic, stance and aspect (control codes). To achieve this goal, a module based on BERT [17] which could judge an argument's quality is constructed. This module is used to assess the quality of the generated arguments. Another module based on GPT-2 [19] is implemented to generate arguments. Stances and aspects are also used as guidance when generating arguments. After combining all these models and techniques, the ranks of the generated arguments could be acquired to evaluate the final performance. This dissertation describes the architecture and experimental setup, analyzes the results of our experimentation, and discusses future directions.
