TL;DR: A case study on integrating an open source grammatical error correction library into our production NLP pipeline

Abstract: We present a case study describing our efforts to integrate the open source GECToR code and models into our production NLP pipeline that powers many of Educational Testing Service's products and prototypes. The paper's contributions includes a discussion of the issues we encountered during integration and our solutions, the overarching lessons we learned about integrating open source projects, and, last but not least, the open source contributions we made as part of the journey.
