Tomoya Mizumoto, Yuta Hayashibe, Mamoru Komachi, Masaaki

(NAIST, Japan)
Problem: Until recently, no large-scale ESL corpora
has been publicly available for grammatical error
correction
Idea: Extract ESL corpus from the web and see the
effect of corpus size in grammatical correction
• Phrase-based SMT trained on large-scale data is
effective in preposition, article, lexical choice
• Syntax and discourse information needed for
tense, agreement, noun number errors
