Abstract:

The pursuit of accurate and fluent English communication is the cornerstone of global academic exchange and expression. The accuracy of written English is crucial for effective discourse; however, despite advancements in grammatical error correction (GEC) technology, these systems often fall short when analyzing coherent text. This paper delves into the complexities of English writing and the challenges posed by current GEC systems, advocating for a shift toward understanding document-level context in error correction. We propose a dual-encoder architecture within an encoder-decoder model, referred to as the Context-Aware Grammatical Error Correction (CAGEC) model. The CAGEC model employs an innovative dual-encoder structure, combining the encoder of the Transformer model with a Bi-GRU (Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit) neural network, and integrates encoding into the decoder through attention and gating mechanisms to achieve a deep understanding of the source sentence and its context.

I. Introduction

As the primary medium of communication in the global academic and professional realms, the accuracy and fluency of English writing are crucial for effectively conveying ideas. However, despite significant advancements in technology within the realm of English error correction, existing systems still face numerous challenges when handling coherent text. Most current error correction systems focus on grammatical analysis and correction at the sentence level, performing well with standalone sentences; however, they often struggle when faced with paragraphs or entire documents. [1] The sentences within a text are semantically interconnected, forming an organic whole. The limitations of existing error correction systems lie in their difficulty in capturing the logical relationships and contextual information between these sentences. This shortcoming can lead to correction results that deviate from the original intent of the text, and may even introduce new grammatical or semantic errors, thereby affecting the effectiveness of communication. For instance, consistency in tense, clarity in pronoun reference, and appropriate use of conjunctions all need to be considered within a broader context. Without a thorough understanding of the surrounding context, grammatical modifications based solely on individual sentences are unlikely to ensure the overall coherence and logic of the text.
