| Description | The trigram-based noisy-channel model of realword spelling-error correction that was presented by Mays, Damerau, and Mercer in 1991 has never been adequately evaluated or compared with other methods. We present a new evaluation that enabled a meaningful comparison with the WordNetbased method of Hirst and Budanitsky (2005) and the “contextual spelling corrector ” of Microsoft Office Word 2007. The trigram method was found to be superior to both these other methods, even on content words. We also found that optimizing over sentences gives better results than variants of the algorithm that optimize over fixed-length windows. 1.
