# FASpell Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
## Context |
|
|
The FASpell dataset was developed to evaluate spell-checking algorithms. It consists of pairs of misspelled Persian (Farsi) words and their corresponding corrected forms, similar to the ASpell dataset used for English. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Content |
|
|
The dataset is divided into two parts: |
|
|
1. **faspell_main**: A list of 5050 pairs collected from errors made by elementary school pupils and professional typists. |
|
|
2. **faspell_ocr**: A list of 800 pairs collected from the output of a Farsi OCR system. |
|

## Inspiration |
|
|
The dataset can be used to explore various questions, including: |
|
|
- Which kinds of misspellings occur more often? |
|
|
- Are certain characters more likely to be misspelled? Certain words? |
|
|
- Can you construct a finite state automaton spell checker for Persian based on this data? |
