Abstract

We describe a proposal on spelling correction intended to be applied on Galician, a Romance language. Our aim is to put into evidence the flexibility of a novelty technique that provides a quality equivalent to global strategies, but with a significantly minor computational cost. To do it, we take advantage of the grammatical background present in the recognizer, which allows us to dynamically gather information to the right and to the left of the point at which the recognition halts in a word, as long as this information could be considered as relevant for the repair process. The experimental tests prove the validity of our approach in relation to previous ones, focusing on both performance and costs.

Research partially supported by the Spanish Government under projects TIC2000-0370-C02-01 and HP2002-0081, and the Autonomous Government of Galicia under projects PGIDIT03SIN30501PR and PGIDIT02SIN01E.
