A Classifier-Based Approach to Preposition and Determiner Error Correction in L2 English
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an approach to the automatic identification and correction of preposition and determiner errors in nonnative (L2) English writing. We show that models of use for these parts of speech can be learned with an accuracy of 70.06% and 92.15% respectively on L1 text, and present first results in an error detection task for L2 writing.

We extend our n-gram-based data-driven prediction approach from the Helping Our Own (HOO) 2011 Shared Task (Boyd and Meurers, 2011) to identify determiner and preposition errors in non-native English essays from the Cambridge Learner Corpus FCE Dataset (Yannakoudakis et al., 2011) as part of the HOO 2012 Shared Task. Our system focuses on three error categories: missing determiner, incorrect de...

متن کاملA Naive Bayes classifier for automatic correction of preposition and determiner errors in ESL text
This is the report for the CNGL ILT3 team entry to the HOO shared task. A Naive-Bayes-based classifier was used in the task which involved error detection and correction in ESL exam scripts. Our system placed 11th out of 14 teams for the detection and recognition tasks and 11th out of 13 teams for the correction task on the based on f-score for both preposition and determiner errors.
متن کاملPrecision Isn't Everything: A Hybrid Approach to Grammatical Error Detection
Some grammatical error detection methods, including the ones currently used by the Educational Testing Service’s e-rater system (Attali and Burstein, 2006), are tuned for precision because of the perceived high cost of false positives (i.e., marking fluent English as ungrammatical). Precision, however, is not optimal for all tasks, particularly the HOO 2012 Shared Task on grammatical errors, wh...
متن کاملMemory-based Grammatical Error Correction
We describe the ’TILB’ team entry for the CONLL-2013 Shared Task. Our system consists of five memory-based classifiers that generate correction suggestions for center positions in small text windows of two words to the left and to the right. Trained on the Google Web 1T corpus, the first two classifiers determine the presence of a determiner or a preposition between all words in a text. The sec...
