We show that state-of-the-art results can be achieved without relying on a plethora of heuristic rules, complex feature engineering and advanced NLP tools. A proposed method for detecting spaces for article insertion is even more efficient than methods that use a parser. We are the first to propose and examine automatically trained word classes acquired by unsupervised learning as a substitution for commonly used part-of-speech tags. Our best models significantly outperform the top systems from CoNLL-2014 Shared Task in terms of article and preposition error correction.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/grammatical-error-correction-almost-no-linguistic-knowledge/}, pages = {240-243}, }
