Autocorrection of arabic common errors for large text corpus

Abstract

Automatic correction of misspelled words means offering a single proposal to correct a mistake, for example, switching two letters, omitting letter or a key press. In Arabic, there are some typical common errors based on letter errors, such as confusing in the form of Hamza ةزمھ, confusion between Daad داض and Za ءاظ, and the omission dots with Yeh ءای and Teh ءات . So we propose in this paper a system description of a mechanism for automatic correction of common errors in Arabic based on rules, by using two methods, a list of words and regular expressions.
