A project to correct spelling errors in Chinese texts 中文纠错任务

• 使用语言模型计算句子或序列的合理性
• bigram, trigram, 4-gram 结合，并对每个字的分数求平均以平滑每个字的得分
• 根据Median Absolute Deviation算出outlier分数，并结合jieba分词结果确定需要修改的范围
• 根据形近字、音近字构成的混淆集合列出候选字，并对需要修改的范围逐字改正
• 句子中的错误会使分词结果更加细碎，结合替换字之后的分词结果确定需要改正的字
• 探测句末语气词，如有错误直接改正

• Make use of language models to calculate the likelihood of a sequence of words or a sentence
• Combine the scores of bigram, trigram, and 4-gram scores and take the average for each character to smooth the score
• Determine the outliers by Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) and figure out the range of characters to be corrected
• Generate the confusion set based on character sets of similar shape/pronunciation with the target character
• Correct the characters in the range of correction one by one
• The error characters in the sentence would make the word segementation results have smaller granularity. Determine the character to be replaced considering the results of jieba segementation.
• Errors in modal particles are common. Correct them directly at the end of sentences.

• 使用RNN语言模型推算每个字的合理概率（正反双向），以加强长距离前后文关系
• 构建更小更贴近现实的混淆集合（形近字和近音字）
• 从现实中收集更多的有语病或错别字的句子并标注
• Incorporate RNN language models to capture more context information
• Collect smaller confusion sets and make the sets more closed to daily life
• Collect and annotate Chinese sentences with grammatical errors from daily life
