A Neural Network Architecture for Detecting Grammatical Errors in Statistical Machine Translation

In this paper we present a Neural Network (NN) architecture for detecting grammatical errors in Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) using monolingual morpho-syntactic word representations in combination with surface and syntactic context windows. We test our approach on two language pairs and two...
