An Unsupervised Method for Detecting Grammatical Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an unsupervised method for detecting grammatical errors by inferring negative evidence from edited textual corpora. The system was developed and tested using essay-length responses to prompts on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The errorrecognition system, ALEK, performs with about 80% precision and 20% recall.

Detecting Grammatical Errors in Machine Translation Output Using Dependency Parsing and Treebank Querying
Despite the recent advances in the field of machine translation (MT), MT systems cannot guarantee that the sentences they produce will be fluent and coherent in both syntax and semantics. Detecting and highlighting errors in machine-translated sentences can help post-editors to focus on the erroneous fragments that need to be corrected. This paper presents two methods for detecting grammatical ...
متن کاملDeveloping an Unsupervised Grammar Checker for Filipino Using Hybrid N-grams as Grammar Rules
This study focuses on using hybrid n-grams as grammar rules for detecting grammatical errors and providing corrections in Filipino. These grammar rules are derived from grammatically-correct and tagged texts which are made up of part-of-speech (POS) tags, lemmas, and surface words sequences. Due to the structure of the rules used by this system, it presents an opportunity to have an unsupervise...
متن کاملA Neural Network Architecture for Detecting Grammatical Errors in Statistical Machine Translation
In this paper we present a Neural Network (NN) architecture for detecting grammatical errors in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) using monolingual morpho-syntactic word representations in combination with surface and syntactic context windows. We test our approach on two language pairs and two tasks, namely detecting grammatical errors and predicting overall post-editing effort. Our result...
متن کاملCorrecting Different Types of Errors in Texts
This paper proposes an unsupervised approach that automatically detects and corrects a text containing multiple errors of both syntactic and semantic nature. The number of errors that can be corrected is equal to the number of correct words in the text. Error types include, but are not limited to: spelling errors, real-word spelling errors, typographical errors, unwanted words, missing words, p...
