• Abstract: Chinese grammatical error correction (CGEC) faces serious overcorrection challenges when employing autoregressive generative models such as sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) models and decoder-only large language models (LLMs). While previous methods aim to address overcorrection in Seq2Seq models, they are difficult to adapt to decoder-only LLMs. In this paper, we propose an alignment-enhanced corrector for the overcorrection problem that applies to both Seq2Seq models and decoder-only LLMs. Our method first trains a correction model to generate an initial correction of the source sentence. Then, we combine the source sentence with the initial correction and feed it through an alignment model for another round of correction, aiming to enforce the alignment model to focus on potential overcorrection. Moreover, to enhance the model's ability to identify nuances, we further explore the reverse alignment of the source sentence and the initial correction. Finally, we transfer the alignment knowledge from two alignment models to the correction model, instructing it on how to avoid overcorrection. Experimental results on three CGEC datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in alleviating overcorrection and improving overall performance. Our code has been made publicly available.

  Self-correction has been found to be largely ineffective in modern large language models (LLMs) We develop a multi-turn online reinforcement learning approach, SCoRe, that significantly improves an LLM's self-correction ability using entirely self-generated data. We find that SCoRe achieves state-of-the-art self-correction performance, improving the base models' self-correction by 15.6% and 9.1% respectively on MATH and HumanEval.

  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.

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.
