CTC 2021

CTC 2021 is a Chinese Text Correction Competition that aims to detect and correct errors in a given text. Participants should detect the mistaken texts and determine the corresponding error types, and correct them.

In the past decade, automatic Chinese text correction methods have been studied using texts written by non-native Chinese learners. However, most of the errors in these texts seldom appear in texts written by native speakers. Therefore, a proofreading system for native Chinese speakers is needed and would be practically helpful for official faculties such as governments, media and publishing industries. To this end, CTC 2021 collects texts written by native Chinese speakers from the Internet as the validation and testing data, and evaluates the performance of the trained models in terms of spelling errors, grammatical errors and faulty wording or formulation.

To preserve the integrity of test results, we do not release the test and challenge set to the public. Instead, we require you to upload your model onto CodaLab so that we can run it on the test and challenge set for you. You can follow the instructions on CodaLab (which is similar to SQuAD submission). Submission Tutorial
