Towards a Single Proposal in Spelling Correction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study presented here relies on the integrated use of different kinds of knowledge in order to improve first-guess accuracy in non-word context-sensitive correction for general unrestricted texts. State of the art spelling correction systems, e.g. ispell, apart from detecting spelling errors, also assist the user by offering a set of candidate corrections that are close to the misspelled word. Based on the correction proposals of ispell, we built several guessers, which were combined in different ways. Firstly, we evaluated all possibilities and selected the best ones in a corpus with artificially generated typing errors. Secondly, the best combinations were tested on texts with genuine spelling errors. The results for the latter suggest that we can expect automatic non-word correction for all the errors in a free running text with 80% precision and a single proposal 98% of the times (1.02 proposals on average).

Persian Language has a special feature (grapheme, homophone, and multi-shape clinging characters) in electronic devices. Furthermore, design and implementation of NLP tools for Persian are more challenging than other languages (e.g. English or German). Spelling tools are used widely for editing user texts like emails and text in editors. Also developing Persian tools will provide Persian progr...
متن کاملConceptual Distance and Automatic Spelling Correction
A BSTRACT. Text from different sources usually arrives under imperfect conditions. When an anomalous word is detected automatic word recognisers produce a list of candidates from which only one is correct. A variety of techniques have been devised to discriminate among the possible correction candidates. The project we are involved in tries to exploit linguistic knowledge in Spelling Correction...
متن کاملAutomatic Spelling Correction in Galician
We describe a proposal on spelling correction intended to be applied on Galician, a Romance language. Our aim is to put into evidence the flexibility of a novelty technique that provides a quality equivalent to global strategies, but with a significantly minor computational cost. To do it, we take advantage of the grammatical background present in the recognizer, which allows us to dynamically ...
متن کاملTowards Context-Dependent Phonetic Spelling Error Correction in Children's Freely Composed Text for Diagnostic and Pedagogical Purposes
Reading and writing are core competencies of any society. In Germany, international and national comparative studies such as PISA or IGLU have shown that around 25% of German school children do not reach the minimal competence level necessary to function effectively in society by the age of 15. Automized diagnosis and spelling tutoring of children can play an important role in raising their ort...
