If there were reason to assume that the channel was particularly ``noisy,'' the same algorithm could be used to add all words an additional edit-distance away to the candidate list.Īfter a list of candidate words is generated, each of these words is plugged into the model discussed above. This project used one edit-distance as the maximum because in general, about 80% of all spelling mistakes could be found in that one edit-distance. The first step in the spelling correction process was to produce all words within one edit-distance of each of the words from the input sentence. Using a bigram or trigram will give us context and allow us to more intelligently determine the actual word. We can look at the probability of a single word showing up, or we can look at the probability of some N-gram showing up. The dictionary model can also take a simpler or more complicated form. For example, we would say that a substitution of keys that neighbor each other is more likely than other substitutions. Another option is to develop some heuristic to explain which mistakes are more likely. One option is to use some training set of labeled mistakes in order to determine which mistakes are more likely. However, we can also approach the probability more specifically. In its simplest form, the channel model will give a higher probability for the lowest number of edits (where an edit is an insertion, deletion, substitution, or transposition). The dictionary model tells us the probability of a specific word (or N-gram) w showing up. The channel model tells us the probability that a specific word could have turned into the received word, x. This can be described as a product between the channel model and the dictionary model. Using Baye’s Rule we can equivalently maximize the product P (x|w)P (w). In order to predict what the intended word is, we want to maximize the probability P (w|x), where w is the actual word and x is the noisy word that the algorithm receives. For example, "fifteen minutes" might be mistyped as "fifteen minuets" - Depending on context, "fifteen minutes" is probably the desired phrase. The goal of this project was to be able to find and correct words that were mistyped, even if the typed word is a word in the dictionary. This program will be able to correct spelling mistakes even if the word is a real dictionary word, but is used in an incorrect context. The new spelling of Bangikulu is accurate and correct.A spelling corrector based on the noisy channel model. "So the revision of the spelling and autography rules was undertaken after research was conducted by the NLB and so the changes that you see on the new printed banknotes are a reflection of the revised spelling and autography rules. "The spelling on the old banknote reflects the previous spelling and autography role that was accepted by the National Language Body for Xitsonga at the time," says the board's spokesperson, Ntombi Huluhulu. The central bank says it consulted with the Pan South African Language Board before the notes were released.

"The upgraded banknotes that are in question right now, they are released now May and the work that happened or the approval that was received from PanSALB was received in 2022 after they had changed the language," says the bank's Head of Currency Pearl Kgalegi. Social media has been abuzz over the change of the Xitsonga spelling on the upgraded banknotes and coins from 'Banginkulu' to 'Bangikulu'.
