Spelling Error Correction (SpellCorr) Task

A Spelling Error Correction (SpellCorr) Task is an orthographic error correction task that detects and corrects misspellings.

• Context:
  • It can be solve by a Spell Checking System (that implements a spell checking algorithm).
  • …
• Example(s):
  • SpellCorr(“i'm Goig, to store tomoro”) ⇒ “i'm Going, to store tomorrow ".
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
