Recently, the development and progress of Large Language Models (LLMs) have
amazed the entire Artificial Intelligence community. As an outstanding
representative of LLMs and the foundation model that set off this wave of
research on LLMs, ChatGPT has attracted more and more researchers to study its
capabilities and performance on various downstream Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. While marveling at ChatGPT's incredible performance on kinds of
tasks, we notice that ChatGPT also has excellent multilingual processing
capabilities, such as Chinese. To explore the Chinese processing ability of
ChatGPT, we focus on Chinese Text Correction, a fundamental and challenging
Chinese NLP task. Specifically, we evaluate ChatGPT on the Chinese Grammatical
Error Correction (CGEC) and Chinese Spelling Check (CSC) tasks, which are two
main Chinese Text Correction scenarios. From extensive analyses and comparisons
with previous state-of-the-art fine-tuned models, we empirically find that the
ChatGPT currently has both amazing performance and unsatisfactory behavior for
Chinese Text Correction. We believe our findings will promote the landing and
application of LLMs in the Chinese NLP community.
