Challenge: Chinese spelling check (CSC) is a challenging but meaningful task that serves as a preprocessing in many natural language processing(NLP) applications.
Approach: They propose to construct Chinese spelling check corpus with automatically generated spelling errors, which are either visually or phonologically resembled characters, corresponding to OCR- and ASR-based methods. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
Outcome: The proposed method is based on visual or phonologically similar spelling errors, and is validated with respect to three standard test sets.
