Research

In 2011 UKP participated in  Helping Our Own, an ongoing shared task in text correction, whose pilot run took place as part of the  2011 Generation Challenges.

Our system achieved the best detection scores in the following error classes::

• adjective errors
• adverb errors
• anaphor errors
• compound change errors
• noun errors
• punctuation errors
• verb errors
• other errors

Full details of the task, including results for all systems, is available in   the organizers' report.  A full description of our system can be found in the following paper:
