In this paper, we present a system that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to perform grammar and spelling correction as a component of Quality Assurance (QA) for texts generated by NLG systems, which is important for text production in real-world scenarios. Evaluating the results of the system on work-in-progress sports news texts in three languages, we show that it is able to deliver acceptable corrections.

The team came under fire this week after someone on social media claimed a young fan involved with an on-court skit during Monday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers was tricked out of receiving a new video game console.

The most popular Cross-Document Event Coreference Resolution (CDEC) datasets fail to convey the true difficulty of the task, due to the lack of lexical diversity between coreferring event triggers (words or phrases that refer to an event). Furthermore, there is a dearth of event datasets for figurative language, limiting a crucial avenue of research in event comprehension. We address these two issues by introducing ECB+META, a lexically rich variant of Event Coref Bank Plus (ECB+) for CDEC on symbolic and metaphoric language. We use ChatGPT as a tool for the metaphoric transformation of sentences in the documents of ECB+, then tag the original event triggers in the transformed sentences in a semi-automated manner. In this way, we avoid the re-annotation of expensive coreference links. We present results that show existing methods that work well on ECB+ struggle with ECB+META, thereby paving the way for CDEC research on a much more challenging dataset.
