Article Structure

Abstract

This paper presents a novel framework called error case frames for correcting preposition errors.

Introduction

This paper presents a novel framework for correcting preposition errors.

Error Case Frame

An error case frame consists of a verb, cases, and a feedback message as shown in Fig.

Generating Error Case Frames

The method proposed here exploits two sources of corpus data: native and learner corpora.

Correcting Preposition Errors

Preposition errors are corrected by applying the generated error case frames to the target text.

Evaluation

We evaluated the proposed method from two points of View: correction performance and usefulness of feedback messages.

Discussion

As the experimental results show, the proposed method achieves a comparable correction performance with the classifier-/SMT-based methods.

Conclusions

This paper presented a novel framework called error case frames for correcting preposition errors with feedback messages.

Topics

F-measure

Appears in 4 sentences as: F-measure (4)
In Correcting Preposition Errors in Learner English Using Error Case Frames and Feedback Messages
  1. We measured correction performance by recall, precision, and F-measure .

  2. The simple error case frame-based method achieves an F-measure of 0.189.

  3. The hybrid methods achieve the best performances in F-measure .
