My paper C-WEP—Rich Annotated Collection of Writing Errors by Professionals has been accepted for LREC 2016, get it here. The error collection is available from the LingURed website.

The chapter Learning from Errors: Systematic Analysis of Complex Writing Errors for Improving Writing Technology I wrote for the Festschrift for Michael Zock has been published. It is available electronically. However, I rather recommend my final version available from the list of publications, as the layout in the published version is messy and misleading.
