The task of Grammar Error Correction (GEC) entails designing a system that is capable of performing text improvement and correcting semantic/syntax inconsistencies in a text span (sentence), while grammar error detection (GED) is used to classify whether a sentence is correct or not.

Dense retrieval methods conduct text retrieval by first encoding texts in the embedding space and then matching them by nearest neighbor search. This requires strong locality properties from the representation space, e.g., close allocations of each small group of relevant texts, which are hard to generalize to domains without sufficient training data.

The classical Cheeger’s inequality relates the edge conductance of a graph and the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix. Recently, Olesker-Taylor and Zanetti discovered a Cheeger-type inequality connecting the vertex expansion of a graph and the maximum reweighted second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix.
