Probabilistic language models, auto-correction tools and scientific discovery. "Durgesh Kumar Dwivedi":http://network.nature.com/people/U56CB3E51/profile over on Nature Network just asked "Does anyone have any software or web address which corrects English grammar, preposition, edit and shortened the paragraphs?".

See How it Works Geofacets now features content from the Society of Economic Geologist, which adds valuable insights on topics relevant to geoscientists interested in scientifically understanding earth materials including precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal and water. But with Geofacets' intuitive features and maps from Elsevier's Earth science journals, The Geological Society of London, SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology) and the Society of Economic Geology geoscientists can better conduct in-depth analyses and risk assessments, helping companies improve the odds of exploration success.
The Publishing Process—Launching a Book into Awesome! | Sourcebooks.com
