| Title | Microsoft Research ESL Assistant Prototype |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-2206.html The Natural Language Processing Group at Microsoft Research has just launched a prototype web-based writing assistance service for people who have learned English as a second or foreign language. The MSR ESL Assistant uses statistical models to suggest corrections for a set of common learner error patterns that are not currently supported by the proofing tools in Microsoft Office products, and tries to help users judge whether the proposed modifications really are better by displaying actual writing examples returned by a web search. The MSR ESL Assistant service can be accessed at http://www.eslassistant.com . No registration is required. Further information about the project can be found on the team website at http://research.microsoft.com/Projects/msreslassistant and project updates will posted periodically on the team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/eslassistant . |
