Grammatical Error Correction with Denoising Autoencoder

A denoising autoencoder sequence-to-sequence model based on transformer architecture proved to be useful for underlying tasks such as summarization, machine translation, or question answering. This paper investigates the possibilities of using this model type for grammatical error correction and introduces a novel method of remark-based model checkpoint output combining. This approach was evaluated by the BEA 2019 shared task. It was able to achieve state-of-the-art F-score results on the test set 73.90 and development set 56.58. This was done without any GEC-specific pre-training, but only by fine-tuning the autoencoder model and combining checkpoint outputs. This proves that an efficient model solving GEC might be trained in a matter of hours using a single GPU.
