Grammar Checker for Children

The goal of the grammar checker is to create a grammar checker that is tuned for children's writing.

The current grammar checkers on the market are designed for editing professional documents. Children's writing is very different from professional writing. The grammar checkers on the market focus on style issues and grammar constructs that are not found in children's writing.

Our system takes a modularized approach to grammar, breaking different types of grammar errors into different components. We have employed a variety of different tools: rules, machine learning, part of speech tagging, sentence parsing, etc. to aid in detecting the errors. Each components uses a variety of these tools depending on the characteristics of the types of errors.
