Native Language Identification Using a Mixture of Character and Word N-grams

2017-09-01 · WS 2017 9 · Elham Mohammadi, Hadi Veisi, Hessam Amini

Native language identification (NLI) is the task of determining an author{'}s native language, based on a piece of his/her writing in a second language. In recent years, NLI has received much attention due to its challenging nature and its applications in language pedagogy and forensic linguistics. We participated in the NLI2017 shared task under the name UT-DSP. In our effort to implement a method for native language identification, we made use of a fusion of character and word N-grams, and achieved an optimal F1-Score of 77.64{\%}, using both essay and speech transcription datasets.

CIC-FBK Approach to Native Language Identification

2017-09-01 · WS 2017 9 · Ilia Markov, Lingzhen Chen, Carlo Strapparava, Grigori Sidorov

We present the CIC-FBK system, which took part in the Native Language Identification (NLI) Shared Task 2017. Our approach combines features commonly used in previous NLI research, i.e., word n-grams, lemma n-grams, part-…

Improving Native Language Identification by Using Spelling Errors

2017-07-01 · ACL 2017 7 · Lingzhen Chen, Carlo Strapparava, Vivi Nastase

In this paper, we explore spelling errors as a source of information for detecting the native language of a writer, a previously under-explored area. We note that character n-grams from misspelled words are very indicati…
