The Unbearable Weight of Generating Artificial Errors for Grammatical Error Correction

Phu Mon Htut, Joel Tetreault


Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the impact of using 4 recent neural models for generating artificial errors to help train the neural grammatical error correction models. We conduct a battery of experiments on the effect of data size, models, and comparison with a rule-based approach.
