This paper describes the BLCU-ICALL system used in the SemEval-2022 Task 1 Comparing Dictionaries and Word Embeddings, the Definition Modeling subtrack, achieving 1st on Italian, 2nd on Spanish and Russian, and 3rd on English and French. We propose a transformer-based multitasking framework to explore the task. The framework integrates multiple embedding architectures through the cross-attention mechanism, and captures the structure of glosses through a masking language model objective. Additionally, we also investigate a simple but effective model ensembling strategy to further improve the robustness. The evaluation results show the effectiveness of our solution. We release our code at: https://github.com/blcuicall/SemEval2022-Task1-DM.

语法纠错任务旨在通过自然语言处理技术自动检测并纠正文本中的语序、拼写等语法错误。当前许多针对汉语的语法纠错方法已取得较好的效果,但往往忽略了学习者的个性化特征,如二语等级、母语背景等。因此,本文面向汉语作为第二语言的学习者,提出个性化语法纠错,对不同特征的学习者所犯的错误分别进行纠正,并构建了不同领域汉语学习者的数据集进行实验。实验结果表明,将语法纠错模型适应到学习者的各个领域后,性能得到明显提升。
