Title
Diversity-Driven Combination for Grammatical Error Correction
Abstract
Grammatical error correction (GEC) is the task of detecting and correcting errors in a written text. The idea of combining multiple system outputs has been successfully used in GEC. To achieve successful system combination, multiple component systems need to produce corrected sentences that are both diverse and of comparable quality. However, most existing state-of-theart GEC approaches are based on similar sequence-to-sequence neural networks, so the gains are limited from combining the outputs of component systems similar to one another. In this paper, we present Diversity-Driven Combination (DDC) for GEC, a system combination strategy that encourages diversity among component systems. We evaluate our system combination strategy on the CoNLL-2014 shared task and the BEA-2019 shared task. On both benchmarks, DDC achieves significant performance gain with a small number of training examples and outperforms the component systems by a large margin.
