Abstract

This paper describes the error correction model that we used for the QALB- 2015 Automatic Correction of Arabic Text shared task. We employed a case-specific correction approach that handles specific error types such as dialectal word substitution and word splits and merges with the aid of a language model. We also applied corrections that are specific to second language learners that handle erroneous preposition selection, definiteness, and gender-number agreement.
