GenERRate: generating errors for use in grammatical error detection

Foster, Jennifer orcid logoORCID: 0000-0002-7789-4853 and Andersen, Øistein E. (2009) GenERRate: generating errors for use in grammatical error detection. In: NAACL 2009 - The 4th Workshop on Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications, 5 June 2009, Boulder, USA.

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of automatically generated ungrammatical data and its use in error detection, with a focus on the task of classifying a sentence as grammatical or ungrammatical. We present an error generation tool called GenERRate and show how GenERRate can be used to improve the performance of a classifier on learner data. We describe initial attempts to replicate Cambridge Learner Corpus errors using GenERRate.
