• Abstract: Grammatical error annotation in Chinese learner writing requires labels that are both consistent and linguistically meaningful. This paper proposes a layered scheme linking computational Chinese grammatical error correction (CGEC) with pedagogical error analysis. The scheme first identifies character- and punctuation-level orthographic errors, labeling them by edit operation and subtype. Other errors receive a three-layer core label combining edit operation, linguistic domain, and part of speech, with optional Chinese-specific extensions for aspect, modality, comparison, argument structure, and complements. Drawing on CGEC resources, learner-error taxonomies, and Mandarin grammar, the taxonomy is evaluated through a coverage analysis of automatically extracted MuCGEC edits and a preliminary consistency study in which five large language models apply it to a sample. The results support the layered approach while identifying category boundaries requiring further refinement.

• Chinese Spelling Correction as Rephrasing Language Model [63.65217759957206]
  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.
