Dataset Summary

This dataset can be used to train a transformer model (we used T5) to correct grammar errors in simple sentences written in English, Spanish, French, or German. This dataset was developed as a component for the Squidigies platform.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Grammar Error Correction: By appending the prefix fix grammar: to the prrompt.
Language Detection: By appending the prefix: language: to the prompt.

Languages

English
Spanish
French
German

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

The dataset contains the following instances for each language:

German 32282 sentences.
English 51393 sentences.
Spanish 67672 sentences.
French 67157 sentences.

Data Fields

lang: The language of the sentence
sentence: The original sentence.
modified: The corrupted sentence.
transformation: The primary transformation used by the synthetic data generator.
sec_transformation: The secondary transformation (if any) used by the synthetic data generator.

Data Splits

train: There isn't a specific split defined. I recommend using 1k sentences sampled randomly from each language, combined with the SacreBleu metric.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This dataset was generated synthetically through code with the help of information of common grammar errors harvested throughout the internet.
