由于中文语法的复杂性,中文语法错误检测(CGED)的难度较大,而训练语料和相关研究的缺乏,使得CGED的效果还远达不到能够实用的程度。本文提出一种CGED模型,采用数据增强、预训练语言模型和基于语言学特征多任务学习的方式,弥补训练语料稀缺的不足。数据增强能够有效地扩充训练集,预训练语言模型蕴含丰富的语义信息有助于语法分析,基于语言学特征多任务学习对语言模型进行微调则可以使语言模型学习到跟语法错误检测相关的语言学特征。本文提出的方法在NLPTEA的CGED数据集进行测试,取得了优于其他模型的结果。

Combining Impression Feature Representation for Multi-turn Conversational Question Answering

Multi-turn conversational Question Answering (ConvQA) is a practical task that requires the understanding of conversation history, such as previous QA pairs, the passage context, and current question. It can be applied to a variety of scenarios with human-machine dialogue. The major challenge of this task is to require the model to consider the relevant conversation history while understanding the passage. Existing methods usually simply prepend the history to the current question, or use the complicated mechanism to model the history. This article proposes an impression feature, which use the word-level inter attention mechanism to learn multi-oriented information from conversation history to the input sequence, including attention from history tokens to each token of the input sequence, and history turn inter attention from different history turns to each token of the input sequence, and self-attention within input sequence, where the input sequence contains a current question and a passage. Then a feature selection method is designed to enhance the useful history turns of conversation and weaken the unnecessary information. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on the QuAC dataset, analyze the impact of different feature selection methods, and verify the validity and reliability of the proposed features through visualization and human evaluation.
