HOO 2012: A Report on the Preposition and Determiner Error Correction Shared Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incorrect usage of prepositions and determiners constitute the most common types of errors made by non-native speakers of English. It is not surprising, then, that there has been a significant amount of work directed towards the automated detection and correction of such errors. However, to date, the use of different data sets and different task definitions has made it difficult to compare work on the topic. This paper reports on the HOO 2012 shared task on error detection and correction in the use of prepositions and determiners, where systems developed by 14 teams from around the world were evaluated on the same previously unseen errorful text.

NAIST at the HOO 2012 Shared Task
This paper describes the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) error correction system in the Helping Our Own (HOO) 2012 Shared Task. Our system targets preposition and determiner errors with spelling correction as a pre-processing step. The result shows that spelling correction improves the Detection, Correction, and Recognition Fscores for preposition errors. With regard to preposi...

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.

This paper describes the system has been developed for the HOO 2012 Shared Task. The task was to correct determiner and preposition errors. I explore the possibility of learning error correcting rules from the given manually annotated data using features such as word length and word endings only. Furthermore, I employ error correction ranking based on the ratio of the sentence probabilities usi...
