Christopher Bryant

I am an Applied AI Research Scientist at Writer and Visiting Researcher in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) group at the University of Cambridge.

My main research focus is automatic Grammatical Error Detection and Correction (GED/GEC), but I have also worked on codeswitching (using more than one language in a sentence), automatic annotation, artificial data generation, robust evaluation, and discourse parsing. I built and maintain the ERRor ANnotation Toolkit (ERRANT), which is widely used to measure progress in GEC, and also led the Building Educational Applications Shared Task on Grammatical Error Correction (BEA-2019).

I completed my PhD as a member of Churchill College at the University of Cambridge where I was supervised by Ted Briscoe and supported by the Institute for Automated Language Teaching and Assessment (ALTA). Before that, I worked as a Research Assistant in the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore under Hwee Tou Ng. I completed a MSc in Speech and Language Processing and an undergraduate MA(Hons) in Chinese and Linguistics, both at the University of Edinburgh.
