Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting punctuation errors in a text including one or more sentences. A sentence including a plurality of words is received, the sentence including one or more preexisting punctuation marks. One or more punctuation marks are determined with a statistical classifier based on a set of rules, to be inserted in the sentence. The determined punctuation marks are compared with the preexisting punctuation marks. A report of punctuation errors is output based on the comparison.
