• Authors: Kevin Parnow, Zuchao Li, and Hai Zhao
• Abstract summary: We propose a GAN-like sequence labeling model, which consists of a grammatical error detector as a discriminator and a grammatical error labeler with Gumbel-Softmax sampling as a generator. Our results on several evaluation benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed approach is effective and improves the previous state-of-the-art baseline.

• Abstract: In Grammatical Error Correction (GEC), sequence labeling models enjoy fast inference compared to sequence-to-sequence models; however, inference in sequence labeling GEC models is an iterative process, as sentences are passed to the model for multiple rounds of correction, which exposes the model to sentences with progressively fewer errors at each round. Traditional GEC models learn from sentences with fixed error rates. Coupling this with the iterative correction process causes a mismatch between training and inference that affects final performance. In order to address this mismatch, we propose a GAN-like sequence labeling model, which consists of a grammatical error detector as a discriminator and a grammatical error labeler with Gumbel-Softmax sampling as a generator. By sampling from real error distributions, our errors are more genuine compared to traditional synthesized GEC errors, thus alleviating the aforementioned mismatch and allowing for better training. Our results on several evaluation benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed approach is effective and improves the previous state-of-the-art baseline.

  Over-correction is a critical problem in Chinese grammatical error correction (CGEC) task. Recent work using model ensemble methods can effectively mitigate over-correction and improve the precision of the GEC system. We propose the LM-Combiner, a rewriting model that can directly modify the over-correction of GEC system outputs without a model ensemble.

  We study Chinese Spelling Correction (CSC), which aims to detect and correct the potential spelling errors in a given sentence. Current state-of-the-art methods regard CSC as a sequence tagging task and fine-tune BERT-based models on sentence pairs. We propose Rephrasing Language Model (ReLM), where the model is trained to rephrase the entire sentence by infilling additional slots, instead of character-to-character tagging.

  A maximum-likelihood (MLE) objective does not match a downstream use-case of autoregressively generating high-quality sequences. We formulate sequence generation as an imitation learning (IL) problem. This allows us to minimize a variety of divergences between the distribution of sequences generated by an autoregressive model and sequences from a dataset. Our resulting method, SequenceMatch, can be implemented without adversarial training or architectural changes.

• From Spelling to Grammar: A New Framework for Chinese Grammatical Error Correction [12.170714706174314]
  Chinese Grammatical Error Correction (CGEC) aims to generate a correct sentence from an erroneous sequence. This paper divides the CGEC task into two steps, namely spelling error correction and grammatical error correction. We propose a novel zero-shot approach for spelling error correction, which is simple but effective. To handle grammatical error correction, we design part-of-speech features and semantic class features to enhance the neural network model.

Considering that most tokens are correct and can be conveyed directly from source to target, and the error positions can be estimated and corrected. Experimental results on standard datasets, especially on the variable-length datasets, demonstrate the effectiveness of TtT in terms of sentence-level Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-Measure.
