Robust and Effective Grammatical Error Correction with Simple Cycle Self-Augmenting
Recent studies have revealed that grammatical error correction methods in the sequence-to-sequence paradigm are vulnerable to adversarial attack, and simply utilizing adversarial examples in the pre-training or post-training process can significantly enhance the robustness of GEC models to certain types of attack without suffering too much performance loss on clean data. In this paper, we further conduct a thorough robustness evaluation of cutting-edge GEC methods to four different types of adversarial attacks and propose a simple yet very effective Cycle Self-Augmenting (CSA) method accordingly. By leveraging the augmenting data from the GEC models themselves in the post-training process and introducing regularization data for cycle training, our proposed method can effectively improve model robustness of well-trained GEC models with only a few more training epochs as the extra cost. Experiments on four benchmark datasets and seven strong models indicate that our proposed training method can significantly enhance the robustness to four types of attacks without using purposely built adversarial examples in training. Evaluation results on clean data further confirm that our proposed CSA method significantly improves the performance of four baselines and yields nearly comparable results with other state-of-the-art models. Our code is available in the supplementary .zip file, which will be released after the anonymous period.
