Automated Text Error Generation System

An Automated Text Error Generation System is a text error generation system that can solve an automated text error generation task by implementing an automated text error generation algorithm.

  • QUOTE: ... Shortage of available training data is holding back progress in the area of automated error detection. This paper investigates two alternative methods for artificially generating writing errors, in order to create additional resources. We propose treating error generation as a machine translation task, where grammatically correct text is translated to contain errors. …

  • QUOTE: ... Artificial error generation allows researchers to create very large error-annotated corpora with little effort and control variables such as topic and error types. Errors can be injected into candidate texts using a deterministic approach (e.g. fixed rules) or probabilities derived from manually annotated samples in order to mimic real data. …
