Questions GEC - ufal/NPFL095 GitHub Wiki

  1. What are the differences between a spell-checker (e.g. Aspell) and a GEC tool? Note that the answer is not explicitly in the paper.

  2. Section 2 overviews three approaches to GEC in low-resource scenarios. What are the main differences between these three approaches and which one is used by the authors of the paper?

  3. Both the first and the third approach mentioned in Section 2 use a spell-checker. Do they use it for the same purpose? If not, what is the difference?

  4. How would you detect overfitting? Does the finetuning applied in the paper lead to overfitting? If yes: when, why and for which languages (and why not for the other languages)?

  5. Why are the W&I+L test in Table 5 notably higher than the W&I+L dev scores?

  6. Bonus: Select a sentence from the paper (from the main text, not from the examples) with grammatical or stylistic errors in English and annotate the errors using the error types from Table 1 (or suggest a new type).
