Abstract
Common spelling checks in the current digital era have trouble reading languages like Bengali, which employ English letters differently. In response, we have created a better BERT-based spell checker that makes use of a CNN sub-model (Semantic Network). Our novelty, which we term progressive stacking, concentrates on improving BERT model training while expediting the corrective process. We discovered that, when comparing shallow and deep versions, deeper models could require less training time. There is potential for improving spelling corrections with this technique. We categorized and utilized as a test set a 6300-word dataset that Nayadiganta Mohiuddin supplied, some of which had spelling errors. The most popular terms were the same as those found in the Prothom-Alo artificial error dataset.
期刊介绍:
The ACM Transactions on Asian and Low-Resource Language Information Processing (TALLIP) publishes high quality original archival papers and technical notes in the areas of computation and processing of information in Asian languages, low-resource languages of Africa, Australasia, Oceania and the Americas, as well as related disciplines. The subject areas covered by TALLIP include, but are not limited to:
-Computational Linguistics: including computational phonology, computational morphology, computational syntax (e.g. parsing), computational semantics, computational pragmatics, etc.
-Linguistic Resources: including computational lexicography, terminology, electronic dictionaries, cross-lingual dictionaries, electronic thesauri, etc.
-Hardware and software algorithms and tools for Asian or low-resource language processing, e.g., handwritten character recognition.
-Information Understanding: including text understanding, speech understanding, character recognition, discourse processing, dialogue systems, etc.
-Machine Translation involving Asian or low-resource languages.
-Information Retrieval: including natural language processing (NLP) for concept-based indexing, natural language query interfaces, semantic relevance judgments, etc.
-Information Extraction and Filtering: including automatic abstraction, user profiling, etc.
-Speech processing: including text-to-speech synthesis and automatic speech recognition.
-Multimedia Asian Information Processing: including speech, image, video, image/text translation, etc.
-Cross-lingual information processing involving Asian or low-resource languages.
-Papers that deal in theory, systems design, evaluation and applications in the aforesaid subjects are appropriate for TALLIP. Emphasis will be placed on the originality and the practical significance of the reported research.
