| "abstract": "This paper compares a deep and a shallow processing approach to the problem of classifying a sentence as grammatically wellformed or ill-formed. The deep processing approach uses the XLE LFG parser and English grammar: two versions are presented, one which uses the XLE directly to perform the classification, and another one which uses a decision tree trained on features consisting of the XLE's output statistics. The shallow processing approach predicts grammaticality based on n-gram frequency statistics: we present two versions, one which uses frequency thresholds and one which uses a decision tree trained on the frequencies of the rarest n-grams in the input sentence. We find that the use of a decision tree improves on the basic approach only for the deep parser-based approach. We also show that combining both the shallow and deep decision tree features is effective. Our evaluation is carried out using a large test set of grammatical and ungrammatical sentences. The ungrammatical test set is generated automatically by inserting grammatical errors into well-formed BNC sentences.", |

| "text": "This paper is concerned with the task of predicting whether a sentence contains a grammatical error. An accurate method for carrying out automatic grammaticality judgements has uses in the areas of computer-assisted language learning and grammar checking. Comparative evaluation of existing error detection approaches has been hampered by a lack of large and commonly used evaluation error corpora. We attempt to overcome this by automatically creating a large error corpus, containing four different types of frequently occurring grammatical errors. We use this corpus to evaluate the performance of two approaches to the task of automatic error detection. One approach uses low-level detection techniques based on POS n-grams. The other approach is a novel parser-based method which employs deep linguistic processing to discriminate grammatical input from ungrammatical. For both approaches, we implement a basic solution, and then attempt to improve upon this solution using a decision tree classifier. We show that combining both methods improves upon the individual methods. N-gram-based approaches to the problem of error detection have been proposed and implemented in various forms by Atwell(1987) , Bigert and Knutsson (2002) , and Chodorow and Leacock (2000) amongst others. Existing approaches are hard to compare since they are evaluated on different test sets which vary in size and error density. Furthermore, most of these approaches concentrate on one type of grammatical error only, namely, context-sensitive or realword spelling errors. We implement a vanilla ngram-based approach which is tested on a very large test set containing four different types of error.", |

| "text": "The idea behind the parser-based approach to error detection is to use a broad-coverage hand-crafted precision grammar to detect ungrammatical sen-tences. This approach exploits the fact that a precision grammar is designed, in the traditional generative grammar sense (Chomsky, 1957) , to distinguish grammatical sentences from ungrammatical sentences. This is in contrast to treebank-based grammars which tend to massively overgenerate and do not generally aim to discriminate between the two. In order for our approach to work, the coverage of the precision grammars must be broad enough to parse a large corpus of grammatical sentences, and for this reason, we choose the XLE (Maxwell and Kaplan, 1996) , an efficient and robust parsing system for Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) (Kaplan and Bresnan, 1982) and the ParGram English grammar (Butt et al., 2002) for our experiments. This system employs robustness techniques, some borrowed from Optimality Theory (OT) (Prince and Smolensky, 1993) , to parse extra-grammatical input (Frank et al., 1998) , but crucially still distinguishes between optimal and suboptimal solutions.", |

While he speculates that the bigram frequency should be compared to how often the same POS bigram is involved in errors in an error corpus, the proposed system uses the raw frequency with an empirically established threshold to decide whether a bigram indicates an error. In the same paper, a completely different approach is presented that uses the same POS tagger to consider spelling variants that have a different POS. In the example sentence I am very hit the POS of the spelling variant hot/JJ is added to the list NN-VB-VBD-VBN of possible POS tags of hit. If the POS tagger chooses hit/JJ, the word is flagged and the correction hot is proposed to the user. Unlike most n-gram-based approaches, Atwell's work aims to detect grammar errors in general and not just real-word spelling errors. However, a complete evaluation is missing.", |

| "text": "The idea of disambiguating between the elements of confusion sets is related to word sense disambiguation. Golding (1995) builds a classifier based on a rich set of context features. Mays et al. (1991) apply the noisy channel model to the disambiguation problem. For each candidate correction S \u2032 of the input S the probability P (S \u2032 )P (S|S \u2032 ) is calculated and the most likely correction selected. This method is re-evaluated by Wilcox-O'Hearn et al. (2006) on WSJ data with artificial real-word spelling errors. Bigert and Knutsson (2002) extend upon a basic n-gram approach by attempting to match n-grams of low frequency with similar n-grams in order to reduce overflagging. Furthermore, n-grams crossing clause boundaries are not flagged and the similarity measure is adapted in the case of phrase boundaries that usually result in low frequency n-grams. Chodorow and Leacock (2000) use a mutual in-formation measure in addition to raw frequency of ngrams. Apart from this, their ALEK system employs other extensions to the basic approach, for example frequency counts from both generic and wordspecific corpora are used in the measures. It is not reported how much each of these contribute to the overall performance. Rather than trying to implement all of the previous n-gram approaches, we implement the basic approach which uses rare n-grams to predict grammaticality. This property is shared by all previous shallow approaches. We also test our approach on a wider class of grammatical errors.", |

This error can take the form of a performance slip which can occur due to carelessness or tiredness, or a competence error which occurs due to a lack of knowledge of a particular construction. This definition includes real-word spelling errors and excludes nonword spelling errors. It also excludes the abbreviated informal language used in electronic communication. Using the above definition as a guideline, a 20,000 word corpus of ungrammatical English sentences was collected from a variety of written texts including newspapers, academic papers, emails and website forums (Foster and Vogel, 2004; Foster, 2005) . The errors in the corpus were carefully analysed and classified in terms of how they might be corrected using the three word-level correction operators: insert, delete and substitute. The following frequency ordering of the three word-level correction operators was found: Stemberger (1982) reports the same ordering of the substitution, deletion and insertion correction operators in a study of native speaker spoken language slips. Among the grammatical errors which can be corrected by substituting one word for another, the most common errors are real-word spelling errors and agreement errors.
