Abstract

AbstractWe describe the VTeX Language Editing Dataset of Academic Texts (LEDAT), a dataset of text extracts from scientific papers that were edited by professional native English language editors at VTeX. The goal of the LEDAT is to provide a large data resource for the development of language evaluation and grammar error correction systems for the scientific community. We describe the data collection and the compilation process of the LEDAT. The new dataset can be used in many NLP studies and applications where deeper knowledge of the academic language and language editing is required. The dataset can be used also as a knowledge base of English academic language to support many writers of scientific papers.
