Pre-training/fine-tuning Seq2Seq model for spelling and/or grammar correction

For this project, one can use a randomly initialized or a pre-trained BART/T5 model.

Model

Pre-trained BART, T5 models can be found on the model hub.

Datasets

The dataset for this model can be prepared as described in this blog post.
One can make use OSCAR . The dataset is also available through the datasets library here: oscar · Datasets at Hugging Face.

Available training scripts

As this will be a Seq2Seq model, the run_summarization_flax.py script can be used for training.

(Optional) Desired project outcome

The desired outcome is to train a spelling correction model for the French language. This can be showcased directly on the hub or with a streamlit or gradio app.

(Optional) Challenges

Implementing the dataset noising function would be the challenging part of the project.

Hi @valhalla I have previously worked on grammar correction for English using T5, and it gives a great result. It would an exciting task to do same on French, would like to be part of this project.
