  abstract  = {In this paper, we discuss the results of the IUCL system in the NLI Shared Task
	2017. For our system, we explore a variety of phonetic algorithms to generate
	features for Native Language Identification. These features are contrasted with
	one of the most successful type of features in NLI, character n-grams. We find
	that although phonetic features do not perform as well as character n-grams
	alone, they do increase overall F1 score when used together with character
	n-grams.},
