Discriminative Reranking for Grammatical Error Correction with Statistical Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on grammatical error correction has received considerable attention. For dealing with all types of errors, grammatical error correction methods that employ statistical machine translation (SMT) have been proposed in recent years. An SMT system generates candidates with scores for all candidates and selects the sentence with the highest score as the correction result. However, the 1-best result of an SMT system is not always the best result. Thus, we propose a reranking approach for grammatical error correction. The reranking approach is used to re-score N-best results of the SMT and reorder the results. Our experiments show that our reranking system using parts of speech and syntactic features improves performance and achieves state-of-theart quality, with an F0.5 score of 40.0.

Neural Sequence-Labelling Models for Grammatical Error Correction
We propose an approach to N -best list reranking using neural sequence-labelling models. We train a compositional model for error detection that calculates the probability of each token in a sentence being correct or incorrect, utilising the full sentence as context. Using the error detection model, we then re-rank the N best hypotheses generated by statistical machine translation systems. Our ...
متن کاملGrammatical Error Correction
Grammatical error correction (GEC) is the task of automatically correcting grammatical errors in written text. Earlier attempts to grammatical error correction involve rule-based and classifier approaches which are limited to correcting only some particular type of errors in a sentence. As sentences may contain multiple errors of different types, a practical error correction system should be ab...
متن کاملDiscriminative Reranking for Machine Translation
This paper describes the application of discriminative reranking techniques to the problem of machine translation. For each sentence in the source language, we obtain from a baseline statistical machine translation system, a ranked nbest list of candidate translations in the target language. We introduce two novel perceptroninspired reranking algorithms that improve on the quality of machine tr...

This paper describes our use of phrasebased statistical machine translation (PBSMT) for the automatic correction of errors in learner text in our submission to the CoNLL 2013 Shared Task on Grammatical Error Correction. Since the limited training data provided for the task was insufficient for training an effective SMT system, we also explored alternative ways of generating pairs of incorrect a...
متن کاملThe Effect of Learner Corpus Size in Grammatical Error Correction of ESL Writings
English as a Second Language (ESL) learners’ writings contain various grammatical errors. Previous research on automatic error correction for ESL learners’ grammatical errors deals with restricted types of learners’ errors. Some types of errors can be corrected by rules using heuristics, while others are difficult to correct without statistical models using native corpora and/or learner corpora...
