Understand

Chinese Spell Checking (CSC) aims to detect and correct erroneous characters for user-generated text in the Chinese language.

• Previous attempts noticed this phenomenon and try to use the similarity for this task.
• However, these methods use either heuristics or handcrafted confusion sets to predict the correct character.
