Summary

At Grammarly, our mission is to improve lives by improving communication. One of the key technologies driving our innovations are Large Language Models (LLMs). These advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems are designed to understand, generate, and refine human language by processing extensive corpora and employing sophisticated algorithms. Our objective is to make communication assistance more intuitive, accurate, and contextually intelligent.

In this presentation at the ExLing 2024 exhibition, I will showcase how Grammarly leverages LLMs to refine integrated feature sets, focusing on both revision and composition suggestions. LLMs help us not only detect and correct grammatical errors but also provide users with feedback on the quality of their writing. LLMs also power our suggestions for improving clarity, conciseness, and engagement, ensuring that the text aligns with the intended audience and communicative goals. Finally, they enable Grammarly to summarize long passages to provide concise overviews, making them invaluable for tasks such as drafting emails or writing reports.

Computational linguists play a vital role in developing and refining Grammarly's LLM-powered solutions. They design the interactions between user input and the AI, handle text processing, analyze the quality of AI-generated suggestions, and identify and correct inaccuracies to ensure a high-quality user experience.
