Natural Language Correction
Náplava, Jakub ; Straka, Milan (advisor) ; Straňák, Pavel (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to explore the area of natural language correction and to design and implement neural network models for a range of tasks ranging from general grammar correction to the specific task of diacritization. The thesis opens with a description of existing approaches to natural language correction. Existing datasets are reviewed and two new datasets are introduced: a manually annotated dataset for grammatical error correction based on CzeSL (Czech as a Second Language) and an automatically created spelling correction dataset. The main part of the thesis then presents design and implementation of three models, and evaluates them on several natural language correction datasets. In comparison to existing statistical systems, the proposed models learn all knowledge from training data; therefore, they do not require an error model or a candidate generation mechanism to be manually set, neither they need any additional language information such as a part of speech tags. Our models significantly outperform existing systems on the diacritization task. Considering the spelling and basic grammar correction tasks for Czech, our models achieve the best results for two out of the three datasets. Finally, considering the general grammatical correction for English, our models achieve results which are...
