Azerbaijani Spelling Correction Dataset

This dataset contains synthetically generated spelling errors in Azerbaijani text, paired with their corrections. It's designed to help train and evaluate models for Azerbaijani spelling correction tasks.

Training code: https://github.com/LocalDoc-Azerbaijan/azerbaijani_spell_correction_transformer_model

Dataset Overview

The dataset includes four main error types:

1. TRANSLITERATION: Common substitutions in informal Azerbaijani text (particularly in social media) where Latin characters with diacritics are replaced with their basic Latin equivalents:

   • 'ş' → 's'
   • 'ç' → 'c'
   • 'ğ' → 'g'
   • 'ö' → 'o'
   • 'ü' → 'u'
   • 'ı' → 'i'
   • 'ə' → 'e'

   Example: "çöldə" → "colde" or "qəşəng" → "qeseng"

2. KEYBOARD: Accidental keypress errors where adjacent keys on the keyboard are mistakenly pressed

3. DELETION: Errors where characters are missing from the correct word

4. INSERTION: Errors where additional characters are inserted into the correct word

Note: While TRANSLITERATION and KEYBOARD are technically similar types of character substitution errors, TRANSLITERATION represents a specific pattern of substitutions common in informal Azerbaijani writing.

Data Format

Each line in the dataset contains the following fields:

MISTAKE,CORRECT,ERROR_TYPE,Operation,TagsBIO

Where:

• MISTAKE: The word containing the spelling error
• CORRECT: The corrected word
• ERROR_TYPE: One of the four error types (TRANSLITERATION, KEYBOARD, DELETION, INSERTION)
• Operation: Character-level edit operations represented as:
  • "C": Correct (unchanged) character
  • "S": Substitution (character is replaced)
  • "D": Deletion (character is missing)
  • "I": Insertion (extra character is present)
• TagsBIO: BIO tagging scheme at the character level:
  • "O": Outside (character not part of an error)
  • "B": Error span

Example

abslu,absolu,DELETION,"C,C,C,D,C","O,O,O,B,O"

In this example:

• "abslu" is the misspelled word
• "absolu" is the correct word
• The error type is DELETION
• The operation sequence "C,C,C,D,C" indicates that:
  • The first three characters "abs" are correct
  • The fourth character "o" is deleted
  • The last character "u" is correct
• The BIO tags "O,O,O,B,O" indicate that:
  • The first three characters are outside an error span
  • The fourth position marks the beginning of an error
  • The last character is outside an error span
