Prerequisites

License

Prerequisites

conda create --name comb python=3.6
conda activate comb
pip install spacy
python -m spacy download en

For the nonlinear integer programming solver, we use

LINGO10.0

Note that educational institutions can obtain a free license to use the LINGO solver.

Example

Combine the 3 GEC systems listed in the paper using the IP approach. The three systems are UEdin-MS (https://aclanthology.org/W19-4427), Kakao (https://aclanthology.org/W19-4423), and Tohoku (https://aclanthology.org/D19-1119). The core functions for the IP objective are implemented in model.lg4. You can find model.lg4 under lingo/inputs.

  1. Run python prepare_data.py -dir . -list kakao uedinms tohoku to generate aggregated TP, FP, and FN counts. The counts files are stored under lingo/inputs.

  2. Load model.lg4 into the LINGO console and specify the input data path with the counts file path, select the INLP model, and run optimizations. Store the solutions to lingo/outputs/sol_kakao_uedinms_tohoku.txt.

  3. Run ./comb.sh . sol_kakao_uedinms_tohoku.txt to load LINGO solutions, merge and apply edits. The resulted blind test file can be found under submissions. It can be zipped and submitted to the BEA CodeLab website (https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20228) for evaluations.

The data folder provides individual GEC system output files, and .m2 files generated using ERRANT for the listed systems. For more information, please visit the ERRANT github page.

We include the IP combined .m2 files under merged_m2, and the corresponding text files under submissions.
