The document discusses grammatical error correction with improved real-world applicability. It discusses three main issues with current grammatical error correction:
[1] Evaluation - Current single corpus evaluations are not reliable and do not reflect real-world scenarios with varying proficiency levels.
[2] Data noise - There is noise in existing grammatical error correction training data that can negatively impact model performance.
[3] Low resource - Current approaches require large amounts of data and model parameters, which has low real-world applicability.
The document proposes approaches to address these issues, including cross-sectional evaluation using multiple test sets, a self-refinement strategy to reduce data noise, and analyzing grammatical generalization
A Neural Grammatical Error Correction built on Better Pre-training and Sequen...NAVER Engineering
This document summarizes a neural approach to grammatical error correction that uses better pre-training and sequential transfer learning. It first discusses previous work on grammatical error correction (GEC) as a low-resource machine translation task and denoising autoencoders. It then describes the authors' approach, which includes context-aware preprocessing, pre-training a model on synthetically perturbed data to learn realistic error types, fine-tuning the model sequentially, and various postprocessing techniques. Evaluation results on the BEA 2019 shared task show that the authors' approach reduces the performance gap between the restricted and low-resource tracks, and it performs well on different error types.
This lectures provides students with an introduction to natural language processing, with a specific focus on the basics of two applications: vector semantics and text classification.

BERT is a deeply bidirectional, unsupervised language representation model pre-trained using only plain text. It is the first model to use a bidirectional Transformer for pre-training. BERT learns representations from both left and right contexts within text, unlike previous models like ELMo which use independently trained left-to-right and right-to-left LSTMs. BERT was pre-trained on two large text corpora using masked language modeling and next sentence prediction tasks. It establishes new state-of-the-art results on a wide range of natural language understanding benchmarks.
These slides are an introduction to the understanding of the domain NLP and the basic NLP pipeline that are commonly used in the field of Computational Linguistics.
The document summarizes three papers on language models: GPT-1, GPT-2, and GPT-3. GPT-1 demonstrated that pre-training a language model on unlabeled text can improve performance on downstream tasks. GPT-2 showed that language models can learn tasks without explicit supervision when trained on a large and diverse dataset. GPT-3 exhibited few-shot learning abilities, achieving strong performance with only a few examples.
PEGASUS is a large Transformer-based model for abstractive text summarization. It uses a novel pre-training objective called gap-sentence generation (GSG) which masks sentences from input documents and trains the model to generate the missing sentences. GSG more closely resembles the downstream summarization task compared to other objectives. In experiments, PEGASUS achieved state-of-the-art results on 12 summarization datasets using GSG pre-training and outperformed other models when fine-tuned on limited data.
The document presents two neural network models for named entity recognition (NER) without language-specific resources: an LSTM-CRF model and a transition-based stack LSTM (S-LSTM) model. The LSTM-CRF model uses a bidirectional LSTM layer followed by a CRF layer to label input sequences, while the S-LSTM model directly constructs labeled entity chunks. Both models represent words as character-level representations from a bidirectional LSTM combined with word embeddings. The models are evaluated on four languages and achieve state-of-the-art performance on three of the languages without external labeled data.

The document discusses different approaches to generating biographies through natural language processing, including information extraction and language modeling. It describes using information extraction patterns learned from Wikipedia to extract fields like date of birth and place of birth, and bouncing between Wikipedia and Google search results to learn patterns for other fields with less structured data. It also proposes selecting and ranking sentences from search results to improve recall when information extraction may miss relevant sentences. The goal is to build biographies by combining these techniques for high precision on structured fields and better recall on more complex fields.
The document summarizes recent work in natural language generation (NLG), including common training and evaluation practices as well as efforts to address limitations.

It also reviews work on multilingual datasets and metrics as well as efforts to develop more accurate evaluation methods for NLG like question-based metrics and SAFEval. The document concludes by discussing promising directions for future work such as leveraging discriminators during training and generating questions to evaluate NLG models.
In-context learning is a type of machine learning that allows models to learn from unlabeled data in its natural context. This allows models to learn tasks in the real world. In-context learning incorporates contextual information to improve the performance of large language models by making more accurate predictions. However, the main challenge is how to bridge the gap between objectives and in-context learning to greatly increase performance.

IRJET- Survey on Deep Learning Approaches for Phrase Structure Identification...IRJET Journal
This document discusses deep learning approaches for identifying phrase structures in sentences. It begins with an introduction to natural language processing and phrase structure grammar. Traditional n-gram and rule-based approaches to phrase structure identification are described. Recent deep learning methods for natural language tasks that have been applied to phrase structure identification are then summarized, including word embeddings, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and recursive neural networks. The document concludes that deep learning requires less manual feature engineering and has achieved good performance on many NLP tasks, but still has room for improvement, especially on tasks involving unlabeled data.
The document discusses word embedding techniques, specifically Word2vec. It introduces the motivation for distributed word representations and describes the Skip-gram and CBOW architectures. Word2vec produces word vectors that encode linguistic regularities, with simple examples showing words with similar relationships have similar vector offsets. Evaluation shows Word2vec outperforms previous methods, and its word vectors are now widely used in NLP applications.
Dealing with Data Scarcity in Natural Language Processing - Belgium NLP MeetupYves Peirsman
It’s often said we live in the age of big data. Therefore, it may come as a surprise that in the field of natural language processing, machine learning professionals are often faced with data scarcity. Many organizations that would like to apply NLP lack a sufficiently large collection of labeled text in their language or domain to train a high-quality NLP model.
Luckily, there’s a wide variety of ways to address this challenge. First, approaches such as active learning reduce the number of training instances that have to be labeled in order to build a high-quality NLP model. Second, techniques such as distant supervision and proxy-label approaches can help label training examples automatically. Finally, recent developments in semisupervised learning, transfer learning, and multitask learning help models improve by making better use of unlabeled data or training them on several tasks at the same time.

ICML UDL Evaluating Deep Learning Models Applications to NLP Nazneen Rajani.pdfManojAcharya52
This document discusses evaluating deep learning models, specifically for natural language processing tasks. It outlines the current status quo of evaluation, which focuses on aggregate performance but can miss failures on specific examples or distributions. The document then introduces Robustness Gym and SummVis as tools to help with more rigorous evaluation. Robustness Gym allows consolidated and fine-grained evaluation to better expose model vulnerabilities and inform next steps like further analysis or patching. SummVis helps evaluate text summarization models while addressing issues like input contamination between pre-training and evaluation data. The goal of more robust evaluation is to gain a fuller picture of model performance and drive iterative improvement.
IRJET- Querying Database using Natural Language InterfaceIRJET Journal

An exploratory research on grammar checking of Bangla sentences using statist...IJECEIAES
N-gram based language models are very popular and extensively used statistical methods for solving various natural language processing problems including grammar checking. Smoothing is one of the most effective techniques used in building a language model to deal with data sparsity problem. Kneser-Ney is one of the most prominently used and successful smoothing technique for language modelling. In our previous work, we presented a Witten-Bell smoothing based language modelling technique for checking grammatical correctness of Bangla sentences which showed promising results outperforming previous methods. In this work, we proposed an improved method using Kneser-Ney smoothing based n-gram language model for grammar checking and performed a comparative performance analysis between Kneser-Ney and Witten-Bell smoothing techniques for the same purpose. We also provided an improved technique for calculating the optimum threshold which further enhanced the the results. Our experimental results show that, Kneser-Ney outperforms Witten-Bell as a smoothing technique when used with n-gram LMs for checking grammatical correctness of Bangla sentences.
How can text-mining leverage developments in Deep Learning? Presentation at ...jcscholtes
How can text-mining leverage developments in Deep Learning?
Text-mining focusses primary on extracting complex patterns from unstructured electronic data sets and applying machine learning for document classification. During the last decade, a generation of efficient and successful algorithms has been developed using bag-of-words models to represent document content and statistical and geometrical machine learning algorithms such as Conditional Random Fields and Support Vector Machines. These algorithms require relatively little training data and are fast on modern hardware. However, performance seems to be stuck around 90% F1 values.
In computer vision, deep learning has shown great success where the 90% barrier has been broken in many application. In addition, deep learning also shows new successes for transfer learning and self-learning such as reinforcement leaning. Dedicated hardware helped us to overcome computational challenges and methods such as training data augmentation solved the need for unrealistically large data sets.
So, it would make sense to apply deep learning also on textual data as well. But how do we represent textual data: there are many different methods for word embeddings and as many deep learning architectures. Training data augmentation, transfer learning and reinforcement leaning are not fully defined for textual data.
Most work on scholarly document processing assumes that the information processed is trustworthy and factually correct. However, this is not always the case. There are two core challenges, which should be addressed: 1) ensuring that scientific publications are credible -- e.g. that claims are not made without supporting evidence, and that all relevant supporting evidence is provided; and 2) that scientific findings are not misrepresented, distorted or outright misreported when communicated by journalists or the general public. I will present some first steps towards addressing these problems and outline remaining challenges.
Learning context is all you need for task general artificial intelligenceLibgirlTeam
The document discusses the limitations of task-specific machine learning systems and proposes that learning context is all that is needed for task-general artificial intelligence (AI). It argues that a single machine learning model that can learn to distinguish an unbounded amount of contexts and provide output accordingly would be a task-general AI. It reviews related works on context-sensitive language models and models that can learn long-range contextual dependencies. The document suggests further investigating task-specific vs. task-general AI and AI vs. artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Data-to-text technologies present an enormous and exciting opportunity to help
audiences understand some of the insights present in today’s vasts and growing amounts of electronic
data. In this article we analyze the potential value and benefits of these solutions as well as their risks
and limitations for a wider penetration. These technologies already bring substantial advantages of
cost, time, accuracy and clarity versus other traditional approaches or format. On the other hand,
there are still important limitations that restrict the broad applicability of these solutions, most
importantly in the limited quality of their output. However we find that the current state of
development is sufficient for the application of these solution across many domains and use cases and
recommend businesses of all sectors to consider how to deploy them to enhance the value they are
currently getting from their data. As the availability of data keeps growing exponentially and natural
language generation technology keeps improving, we expect data-to-text solutions to take a much
more bigger role in the production of automated content across many different domains.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

2. Background
2
• Millions of people are learning English as a Second Language (ESL)
→ According to a report published by the British Council in 2013, English is spoken
at a useful level by 1.75 billion people worldwide
• Due to the difficulty of learning a new language, their written texts
may contain grammatical errors [Nagata et al.,2011; Dahlmeier et al.,2013]
e.g.) KJ corpus
3. Interests in automatic error correction
3
Commercial perspective:
• A great potential for many real-world application as
• Writing support tools to assist writers with their writing without
human intervention
• Education tools since it can provide real-time feedback
Research perspective:
• Interesting and challenging language generation task
→ language modeling, syntax and semantics in noisy text
• Actively studied as Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) task
4. Grammatical Error Correction (GEC)
4
• A task of correcting different kinds of errors in text such as spelling,
punctuation, grammatical, and word choice errors
Machine is design to help people.
Machines are design to help people.
Mainstream approaches:
• Encoder-Decoder model based on Deep Neural Networks (DNN):
Ø Machine translation (MT) task: an ungrammatical text → a grammatical text
! It can theoretically correct all error types without expert knowledge
! It allows cutting-edge neural MT models to be adopted
5. Systems achieved human-level performance…

From [Ge et al.,2018]
→ From a commercial perspective, three major issues in the current GEC:
1. Evaluation
2. Data Noise
3. Low Resource
6. Issue1: Evaluation
6
GEC community tends to evaluate systems on a particular corpus written
by relatively proficient learners (e.g., CoNLL-2014)
Research (GEC community):

Inconsistent annotations in GEC corpus: [Lo et al., 2018]
Research (GEC community):
Little focus on verifying and ensuring:
ü the quality of the datasets
ü how lower-quality data might affect GEC
performance
Real-world scenarios:
ü Limited available data
ü Not always to be possible to use
high-quality data
Question:
A better GEC model can be built by reducing noise in GEC corpora ?
8. Issue3: Low Resource

Question:
How to build a lightweight models requiring less resources?
Figure from [Kiyono+2019]
Current de fact : Incorporating GEC system with pseudo-data
→ Tendency to require more resources to develop GEC systems (e.g.,
GPUs and training time)
Real-world perspective (checklist):
ü Performance
ü Low resources
ü Inference speed

etc.
9. Three issues and goal

1. Evaluation
uNo reliable and robust evaluation methodologies
2. Data noise

11. Background: Evaluation
11
• Most of the previous works conduct evaluation using CoNLL-2014
• Recently, more and more works have used the JFLEG in combination,
but (customarily) independently evaluate using different metrics
Essays written by students at the
National University of Singapore
12. In real-world scenarios

• Real-world applications assume a wide variety of writing as input
• The difficulty varies under different conditions

• The systems must be based on machine translation
• Each systems must be implemented to have a competitive performance
on CoNLL02014
Requirements:
• LSTM: LSTM based system [Luong et al., 2015]
• CNN: CNN based system [Chollampatt et al., 2017]
• Transformer: Transformer based system [Vaswani et al., 2017]
• SMT: Statistical Machine Translation based system [Junczys-Dowmunt et al., 2017]
16. Cross-corpora Evaluation (NAACL 2019)
16
• Systemʼs rankings considerably vary depending on the corpus
→ Single-corpus evaluation is not reliable for GEC
17. Analysis
17
• Performance evaluation by error type (CoNLL-2014)
Determiner
e.g. [this → these]
Preposition
e.g. [for → with]
Punctuation
e.g. [. Because → , because]
Verb
e.g. [grow → bring]
Noun Number
e.g. [cat → cats]
Verb Tense
e.g. [eat → has eaten]
→ Each system has different strengths and weaknesses

Ideas:
• No necessity for the evaluation segment to be a corpus
→ Cross-sectional evaluation
! Possible to investigate the behavior of the model more precisely
with evaluation segments (perspective) we want to focus on

Observations
• The system rankings considerably vary depending on the corpus
→ Current single corpus evaluation is not reliable
• A large divergence in the evaluation between the basic-intermediate and advanced
levels of writer's proficiency
Research Question and Contribution:
Q: How to realize a reliable evaluation?
A: Evaluation from multiple perspectives by appropriately separating the data according
to the purpose (e.g., Cross-proficiency evaluation)
→ Provide the more reliable evaluation foundation for GEC
Limitations (Future work):
• Detailed factor analysis of ranking changes
• New metrics appropriate for cross-sectional evaluation

25. Background
25
• Manually created GEC data has been used implicitly as a cleanest
→ the data are usually manually built by experts
e.g.) KJ Corpus [Nagata et al.,2011]
Now, I live <prp crr=“in”></prp> my home alone.
Original: Now, I live my home alone .
Corrected: Now, I live in my home alone .
26. Issues and motivation
26
Lo et al. (2018)ʼs report:
• A GEC model trained on EFCamDat [Geertzen et al.,2013], the largest publicly available learner
corpus as of today (2M sent pairs), was outperformed by a model trained on a smaller
dataset (720K sent pairs)
• This may be due to the “inconsistent annotations”
We will discuss about discuss this with you.
I want to discuss about discuss of the education.
We discuss about discuss about our sales target.
Motivation:
In real-world scenarios, it may not always be possible to use high-quality data
→ Need to develop training strategy on low-quality data without sacrificing performance
27. Chapter 4: A Self-refinement Strategy for Noise Reduction
(EMNLP 2020)
27
What we did in this chapter:
1. Reveal the amount of noise in existing GEC data
2. Propose a data denoising method which improves GEC performance
3. Analyze how the method affects both performance and the data itself
28. Presence of noise in GEC data
28
1. For 300 target sentences (Y) from each dataset, one expert reviewed
them and we obtained denoised ones (Yʼ)
2. Calculated the averaged Levenshtein distance between the original target
sentences (Y) and the denoised target sentences (Yʼ)

29. Filtering ?
29
• A straightforward solution is to apply a filtering approach
→ Noisy data are filtered out and a smaller subset of high-quality sentence pairs is
retained (cf. MT)
Filtering
Intuition: Filtering approaches may not be the best choice in GEC :
1. GEC is a low-resource task compared to MT, thus further reducing data size by
filtering may be critically ineffective;
2. Even noisy instances may still be useful for training since they might contain
some correct edits as well

• Not useful with small data
→ Suggests the possibility of excluding
even instances that were partially useful
for training the model
35. Precision vs. Recall
35
• Recall significantly increased, while precision was mostly maintained
→ Due to the correction of "inconsistent annotations”
36. Analysis: Noise reduction
36
• Manually evaluated 500 triples of source
sentences (X), original target sentences (Y), and
generated target sentences (Yʼ)
→ 73.6% of the replaced samples were determined to
be appropriate corrections, including cases where
both were correct
37. Summary of Chapter 4
37
Observations
• A non-negligible amount of noise in the most commonly used training data for GEC
• Significantly improved performance by removing noise
Research Question and Contribution:
Q: How to design denoising method?
A: Develop a simple but effective denoising method based on self-refinement strategy
→ Enable to develop an accurate GEC systems with low-quality data
Limitations:
• Boundary conditions under which noise reduction works effectively are unclear

39. Issues: Larger data, bigger model
39
• Pseudo-data generation is popular
− Generate pseudo-errors from grammatical sentence sets (e.g., Wikipedia)
• Increased training data
− Increased resources required for model development(GPUs, training time…etc.)
− Need to add about 60 million samples of pseudo-data to improve a standard
measure of GEC, F0.5 score, by only two points [Kiyono et al.,2019]
Figure from [Kiyono et al.,2019]
40. Research Question
40
Type2: Errors based on grammatical rule(e.g., subject-verb agreement)
Every dog [run → runs] quickly
Type1: Errors are not based on grammatical rule(e.g., collocation)
I listen [in → to] his speech carefully
Two types of errors covered by GEC…
Intuition:
Do not need to memorize individual
patterns if we have learned rules
A. Yes → No need large amounts of data (at least for Type2)
A. No → Need to incorporate grammatical knowledge as rules into the models
Q. Do GEC models realize grammatical generalization?
41. Chapter5: Do GEC Models Realize Grammatical Realization ?
(ACL 2021)
41
What we did in this chapter:
1. Introduce an analysis method to evaluate whether models can generalize
to unseen errors
2. Add new depth to the study of GEC beyond just improving the scores
42. Proposed method
42
• Automatically build datasets with controlled vocabularies to appear in error
locations in training and test sets
• Compare the performance when correcting previously seen error correction
patterns (Known setting) to correcting unseen patterns of the same error type
(Unknown setting)
Train:
Test 1:
(Known Setting)
Every polite cow *smile / smiles awkwardly
Test 2:
(Unknown Setting)
Every white fox *run / runs quickly
Every dog *run / runs quickly
That slimy duck smiles / smiles awkwardly
Some slimy cows smile / smile dramatically
43. Two types of data: synthetic and real data
43
Synthetic data Real data
Methods
Synthesizing using context

Sampling from existing
GEC datasets
① control of patterns ✔ ✔
② control of vocabulary ✔
• Investigate standard five error types defined by Bryant et al.
(2017), which are errors based on grammatical rules:
• Subject-verb agreement errors(VERB:SVA)
• Verb forms errors(VERB:FORM)
• Word order errors(WO)
• Morphological errors(MORPH)
• Noun number errors(NOUN:NUM)
44. Examples of automatically constructed data
44
Synthetic data:Sentences with limited vocabulary and syntax
Real data: Sentences with a diversity of vocabulary and syntax
45. Result: Synthetic data
45
• The model's performance drops significantly in the unknown setting
compared to the known setting, except for WO
→ It lacks the generalization ability required to correct errors from
provided training examples

Table 2: Generalization performance for unseen errors. Each number represents an F0.5 score.
specifically, we design two kinds of generation
rules for each of the five error types to be ana-
lyzed, one generating grammatical sentences and
the other ungrammatical ones1. For example, for
and 68,002 sentence pairs for NOUN:NUM. Com-
pared to the synthetic data, real data has a wide
variety of vocabulary and syntax ranging from sim-
ple to complex.
46. Result: Real data

We observed the effect of two contributing factors of complexity in real data:
1. Error complexity
2. Sentence length
• WO is robust against complexity of input sentences
→ The reason why WO was relatively low compared to the others, even with real data
WO does not depend on
the sentence length
WO does not depend on
the error complexity
the target error is
the only error
contains other errors
besides the target error
49. Can a few correction patterns improve model performance ?
49
• Performance change when we expose the model to a few error
correction patterns
• Adding even just one or two samples to the training data can
significantly improve the modelʼs performance
→ Important to sample few seen patterns for each word when building training data
50. Summary of Chapter 5
