Grammar Error Detection with Best Approximated Parse
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose that grammar error detection be disambiguated in generating the connected parse(s) of optimal merit for the full input utterance, in overcoming the cheapest error. The detected error(s) are described as violated grammatical constraints in a framework for ModelTheoretic Syntax (MTS). We present a parsing algorithm for MTS, which only relies on a grammar of well-formedness, in that the process does not require any extragrammatical resources, additional rules for constraint relaxation or error handling, or any recovery process.

Simulating Dependencies to Improve Parse Error Detection
We improve parse error detection, weighting dependency information on the basis of simulated parses. Such simulations extend the training grammar, and, although the simulations are not wholly correct or incorrect—as observed from the results with different weightings for small treebanks—they help to determine whether a new parse fits the training grammar.
متن کاملTreelet Probabilities for HPSG Parsing and Error Correction
Most state-of-the-art parsers aim to produce an analysis for any input despite errors. However, small grammatical mistakes in a sentence often cause a parser to fail to build a correct syntactic tree. Applications that can identify and correct mistakes during parsing are particularly interesting for processing user-generated noisy content. Such systems potentially could take advantage of the li...
متن کاملDetecting Dependency Parse Errors with Minimal Resources
To detect errors in automatically-obtained dependency parses, we take a grammarbased approach. In particular, we develop methods that incorporate n-grams of different lengths and use information about possible parse revisions. Using our methods allows annotators to focus on problematic parses, with the potential to find over half the parse errors by examining only 20% of the data, as we demonst...
متن کاملSyntactic Stylometry for Deception Detection
Most previous studies in computerized deception detection have relied only on shallow lexico-syntactic patterns. This paper investigates syntactic stylometry for deception detection, adding a somewhat unconventional angle to prior literature. Over four different datasets spanning from the product review to the essay domain, we demonstrate that features driven from Context Free Grammar (CFG) par...
متن کاملUsing Bracketed Parses to evaluate a Grammar Checking Application
We describe a method for evaluating a grammar checking application with hand-bracketed parses. A randomly-selected set of sentences was submitted to a grammar checker in both bracketed and unbracketed formats. A comparison of the resulting error reports illuminates the relationship between the underlying performance of the parsergrammar system and the error critiques presented to the user. I N ...
