The purpose of the study was to establish influence critical success factors on performance CDF projects in Nakuru Town West Constituency, Kenya. Specifically, evaluated project planning, stakeholder involvement, team training, funding, and monitoring evaluation projects. anchored Stakeholder Theory, Resource Based View, Systems Theory Complexity Theory. A descriptive cross-sectional survey des...

In this article I present a series of arguments that syntactic structures are built incrementally, in a strict left-to-right order. By assuming incremental structure building it becomes possible to explain the differences between the range of constituents available to different diagnostics of constituency, including movement, ellipsis, coordination, scope and binding. In an incremental derivati...

We present a generative model for the unsupervised learning of dependency structures. We also describe the multiplicative combination of this dependency model with a model of linear constituency. The product model outperforms both components on their respective evaluation metrics, giving the best published figures for unsupervised dependency parsing and unsupervised constituency parsing. We als...

We present a simplified Data-Oriented Parsing (DOP) formalism for learning the constituency structure of Italian sentences. In our approach we try to simplify the original DOP methodology by constraining the number and type of fragments we extract from the training corpus. We provide some examples of the types of constructions that occur more often in the treebank, and quantify the performance ...

We present an approach for natural language parsing in which dependency and constituency parses are acquired simultaneously. This leads to accurate parses represented in a specific way, richer than constituency or dependency tree. It also allows reducing parsing time complexity. Within the proposed approach, we show how to treat some significant phenomena of the Russian language and also perfor...

Constituency service is an important duty for politicians. Numerous scholars argue that this duty is critical for reelection (Fiorina 1977, Fenno 1978). In the African context, constituency service is also important for both electoral and social reasons, but research on this topic primarily focuses on national legislators. Based on my fieldwork observations, I argue that citizens in sub–Saharan...

Traditional approaches to quantifier scope typically need stipulation to exclude readings that are unavailable to human understanders. This paper shows that quantifier scope phenomena can be precisely characterized by a semantic representation constrained by surhce constituency, if the distinction between referential and quantificational NPs is properly observed. A CCG implementation is describ...
