The noisy channel model has been applied to a wide range of problems, including spelling correction. These models consist of two components: a source model and a channel model. Very little research has gone into improving the channel model for spelling correction. This paper describes a new channel model for spelling correction, based on generic string to string edits. Using this model gives si...

This paper describes details of NTOU Chinese spelling check system participating in CLP2014 Bakeoff. Confusion sets were expanded by using two language resources, Shuowen and Four-Corner codes. A new method to find spelling errors in legal multi-character words was proposed. Comparison of sentence generation probabilities is the main information for error detection and correction. A rulebased c...

This chapter reviews research on spelling abilities in older adults, an area of psychological research that has received little attention. Of the few studies conducted, the results have demonstrated an age-linked asymmetry between the detection and retrieval of spelling (MacKay & Abrams, 1998; MacKay, Abrams, & Pedroza, 1999): Older adults are able to detect words as either correctly spelled or...

Currently popular systems for classification of spelling words or errors emphasize the learning of phoneme-grapheme correspondences and memorization of irregular words, but do not take into account the morphophonemic nature of the English language. This study is based on the premise that knowledge of the morphological rules of derivational morphology is acquired developmentally and is related t...

In opaque orthographies knowledge of morphological information helps in achieving reading and spelling accuracy. In transparent orthographies with regular print-to-sound correspondences, such as Italian, the mappings of orthography onto phonology and phonology onto orthography are in principle sufficient to read and spell most words. The present study aimed to investigate the role of morphology...
