Abstract Due to the complexity of Chinese grammars and insufficient training data, Chinese grammar error diagnosis (CGED) is a challenging task without applicable approaches in practice. In this paper, we propose a CGED model, APM-CGED, with data augmentation, pre-trained language model and linguistic feature based multi-task learning. Data augmentation can effectively expand the training set, and pre-trained language models are rich in semantic information helpful to grammatical analysis. Meanwhile, the linguistic feature based multi-task learning enables the language model to learn linguistic features useful for grammatical error diagnosis. The method proposed in this paper get better result on the CGED dataset than other compared models.
