CSRP: Chain-of-Thought Reasoning for Chinese Text Correction via Reinforcement Learning with Efficiency-Aware Rewards

arXiv:2606. 00020v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) based Chinese Grammatical Error Correction (CGEC) systems face two critical challenges: general-purpose models lack specialized linguistic priors for subtle grammatical distinctions, and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with Maximum Likelihood Estimation fails to optimize for precision-focused metrics, leading to systematic over-correction.

Larger Context Window, Fewer Overcorrections: Optimizing Prompts and Batching for Minimal-Edit Grammatical Error Correction

The paper presents a prompt-based method for minimal-edit grammatical error correction (GEC) that reduces overcorrection in large language models (LLMs). It introduces taxonomy-based instructions, batch prompting to regularize overcorrection, and LLM-assisted prompt optimization, achieving an $F_{0.5}$ score of 78.32 on BEA-2019 with Gemini 3.1-Pro. This approach narrows the performance gap to fine-tuned models while avoiding their infrastructure demands.

M-GATE: Multilingual Grammar, Accuracy in Translation, and Efficiency Benchmark for Large Language Models

arXiv:2608. 03803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual language models are deployed across a hundred or more languages, yet most benchmarks test whether a model can perform a task _in_ a language rather than whether it commands the language itself, conflating fluency with proficiency.

Confident but Wrong: A Constrained Decoding Diagnostic for Low-Resource Automatic Post-Editing

The paper introduces a black‑box, inference‑time diagnostic for low‑resource Automatic Post‑Editing (APE) that distinguishes whether poor performance is due to insufficient training data or inconsistent training signals. By varying an edit‑distance penalty and analyzing the resulting TER‑vs‑λ curve and confidence‑based constraint ordering, the authors identify two failure modes—Binary Collapse and Confident Miscalibration—across multiple language pairs. The diagnostic also suggests practical next steps, such as applying a static constraint for immediate accuracy gains, and the authors release new English‑Sinhala and English‑Tamil APE datasets with accompanying code.
