Synthetic Error Dataset Generation Mimicking Bengali Writing Pattern

원문 초록

While writing Bengali using English keyboard, users often make spelling mistakes. The accuracy of any Bengali spell checker or paragraph correction module largely depends on the kind of error dataset it is based on. Manual generation of such error dataset is a cumbersome process. In this research, We present an algorithm for automatic misspelled Bengali word generation from correct word through analyzing Bengali writing pattern using QWERTY layout English keyboard. As part of our analysis, we have formed a list of most commonly used Bengali words, phonetically similar replaceable clusters, frequently mispressed replaceable clusters, frequently mispressed insertion prone clusters and some rules for Juktakkhar (constant letter clusters) handling while generating errors.
