• Title: Correcting the Autocorrect: Context-Aware Typographical Error Correction via Training Data Augmentation
• Authors: Kshitij Shah, Gerard de Melo
• Abstract summary: We first draw on a small set of annotated data to compute spelling error statistics. These are then invoked to introduce errors into substantially larger corpora. We use it to create a set of English language error detection and correction datasets.

• Abstract: In this paper, we explore the artificial generation of typographical errors based on real-world statistics. We first draw on a small set of annotated data to compute spelling error statistics. These are then invoked to introduce errors into substantially larger corpora. The generation methodology allows us to generate particularly challenging errors that require context-aware error detection. We use it to create a set of English language error detection and correction datasets. Finally, we examine the effectiveness of machine learning models for detecting and correcting errors based on this data. The datasets are available at http://typo.nlproc.org

  We focus on understanding the usefulness of incorporating "error-correction" data directly into the pretraining stage. This data consists of erroneous solution steps immediately followed by their corrections. We show promising results: this type of pretrain data can help language models achieve higher reasoning accuracy.

  We introduce an extension to the selective synaptic dampening unlearning method that removes the need for parameter tuning. We demonstrate the performance of this extension, adaptive selective synaptic dampening (ASSD) on various ResNet18 and Vision Transformer unlearning tasks. The application of this approach is particularly compelling in industrial settings, such as supply chain management.
