Description
Summary:Although significant progress has been made in developing methods for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC), addressing word choice improvements has been notably lacking and enhancing sentence expressivity by replacing phrases with advanced expressions is an understudied aspect. In this paper, we focus on this area and present our investigation into the task of incorporating the usage of idiomatic expressions in student writing. To facilitate our study, we curate extensive training sets and expert-annotated testing sets using real-world data and evaluate various approaches and compare their performance against human experts.
