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.

• Abstract: Over-correction is a critical problem in Chinese grammatical error correction (CGEC) task. Recent work using model ensemble methods based on voting can effectively mitigate over-correction and improve the precision of the GEC system. However, these methods still require the output of several GEC systems and inevitably lead to reduced error recall. In this light, we propose the LM-Combiner, a rewriting model that can directly modify the over-correction of GEC system outputs without a model ensemble. Specifically, we train the model on an over-correction dataset constructed through the proposed K-fold cross inference method, which allows it to directly generate filtered sentences by combining the original and the over-corrected text. In the inference stage, we directly take the original sentences and the output results of other systems as input and then obtain the filtered sentences through LM-Combiner. Experiments on the FCGEC dataset show that our proposed method effectively alleviates the over-correction of the original system (+18.2 Precision) while ensuring the error recall remains unchanged. Besides, we find that LM-Combiner still has a good rewriting performance even with small parameters and few training data, and thus can cost-effectively mitigate the over-correction of black-box GEC systems (e.g., ChatGPT).

RFEC retrieves the evidence sentences from the original document by comparing the sentences with the target summary. Next, RFEC detects the entity-level errors in the summaries by considering the evidence sentences and substitutes the wrong entities with the accurate entities from the evidence sentences.

  Post-editing in Automatic Speech Recognition entails automatically correcting common and systematic errors produced by the ASR system. We propose to use a powerful pre-trained sequence-to-sequence model, BART, to serve as a denoising model. Experimental results on accented speech data demonstrate that our strategy effectively rectifies a significant number of ASR errors.

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.

• Improving the Efficiency of Grammatical Error Correction with Erroneous Span Detection and Correction [106.63733511672721]
  We propose a novel language-independent approach to improve the efficiency for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) by dividing the task into two subtasks: Erroneous Span Detection ( ESD) and Erroneous Span Correction (ESC) ESD identifies grammatically incorrect text spans with an efficient sequence tagging model. ESC leverages a seq2seq model to take the sentence with annotated erroneous spans as input and only outputs the corrected text for these spans. Experiments show our approach performs comparably to conventional seq2seq approaches in both English and Chinese GEC benchmarks with less than 50% time cost for inference.

  Existing approaches for grammatical error correction (GEC) rely on supervised learning with manually created GEC datasets. There is a non-negligible amount of "noise" where errors were inappropriately edited or left uncorrected. We propose a self-refinement method where the key idea is to denoise these datasets by leveraging the prediction consistency of existing models.
