I saw TREE trees in the park: How to Correct Real-Word Spelling Mistakes

Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2008)

Abstract

This paper presents a context sensitive spell checking system that uses mixed trigram models, and introduces a new empirically grounded method for building confusion sets. The proposed method has been implemented, tested, and evaluated in terms of coverage, precision, and recall. The results show that the method is effective.
