Chat Correct

A Ruby gem to help students improve their English. A teacher can correct a student's sentence and this gem will automatically provide information on the type of error (i.e. punctuation, spelling, etc.), the placement of the errors, and the number of errors.

Usage

Correct

The correct method returns a hash of the original sentence interleaved with the corrected sentence. The idea is that you can use styling in your output progam to highlight the errors (color, font weight, strikethrough, etc.).

os = "is the, puncttuation are wrong."
cs = "Is the punctuation wrong?"
cc = ChatCorrect::Correct.new(original_sentence: os, corrected_sentence: cs)
cc.correct

# =>  {
#       0 => {
#        'token' => 'is',
#        'type' => 'capitalization_mistake'
#       },
#       1 => {
#        'token' => 'Is',
#        'type' => 'capitalization_correction'
#       },
#       2 => {
#        'token' => 'the',
#        'type' => 'no_mistake'
#       },
#       3 => {
#        'token' => ',',
#        'type' => 'punctuation_mistake'
#       },
#       4 => {
#        'token' => 'puncttuation',
#        'type' => 'spelling_mistake'
#       },
#       5 => {
#        'token' => 'punctuation',
#        'type' => 'spelling_correction'
#       },
#       6 => {
#        'token' => 'are',
#        'type' => 'unnecessary_word_mistake'
#       },
#       7 => {
#        'token' => 'wrong',
#        'type' => 'no_mistake'
#       },
#       8 => {
#        'token' => '.',
#        'type' => 'punctuation_mistake'
#       },
#       9 => {
#        'token' => '?',
#        'type' => 'punctuation_correction'
#       }
#     }

cc.correct[5]['token']
# => 'punctuation'

cc.correct[5]['type']
# => 'spelling_correction'

Mistakes

The mistakes method returns a hash of each mistake, ordered by its position in the sentence. For each mistake the method returns the position, error_type, mistake, and correction.

os = "is the, puncttuation are wrong."
cs = "Is the punctuation wrong?"
cc = ChatCorrect::Correct.new(original_sentence: os, corrected_sentence: cs)
cc.mistakes

# =>  {
#       0 => {
#        'position' => 0,
#        'error_type' => 'capitalization',
#        'mistake' => 'is',
#        'correction' => 'Is'
#       },
#       1 => {
#        'position' => 3,
#        'error_type' => 'punctuation',
#        'mistake' => ',',
#        'correction' => ''
#       },
#       2 => {
#        'position' => 4,
#        'error_type' => 'spelling',
#        'mistake' => 'puncttuation',
#        'correction' => 'punctuation'
#       },
#       3 => {
#        'position' => 6,
#        'error_type' => 'unnecessary_word',
#        'mistake' => 'are',
#        'correction' => ''
#       },
#       4 => {
#        'position' => 8,
#        'error_type' => 'punctuation',
#        'mistake' => '.',
#        'correction' => '?'
#       }
#     }

cc.mistakes[4]['correction']
# => '?'

cc.mistakes[1]['mistake']
# => ','

Mistake Report

The mistake report method returns a hash containing the number of mistakes for each error type.

os = "is the, puncttuation are wrong."
cs = "Is the punctuation wrong?"
cc = ChatCorrect::Correct.new(original_sentence: os, corrected_sentence: cs)
cc.mistake_report
# => {
#      'missing_word'     => 0,
#      'unnecessary_word' => 1,
#      'spelling'         => 1,
#      'verb'             => 0,
#      'punctuation'      => 2,
#      'word_order'       => 0,
#      'capitalization'   => 1,
#      'duplicate_word'   => 0,
#      'word_choice'      => 0,
#      'pluralization'    => 0,
#      'possessive'       => 0,
#      'stylistic_choice' => 0
#    }

cc.mistake_report['punctuation']
# => 2

Number of Mistakes

The number of mistakes method returns the total number of mistakes in the original sentence.

os = "is the, puncttuation are wrong."
cs = "Is the punctuation wrong?"
cc = ChatCorrect::Correct.new(original_sentence: os, corrected_sentence: cs)
cc.number_of_mistakes
# => 5
