ContextSpellCheckerApproach

class ContextSpellCheckerApproach extends AnnotatorApproach[ContextSpellCheckerModel] with HasFeatures with WeightedLevenshtein

Trains a deep-learning based Noisy Channel Model Spell Algorithm. Correction candidates are extracted combining context information and word information.

For instantiated/pretrained models, see ContextSpellCheckerModel.

Spell Checking is a sequence to sequence mapping problem. Given an input sequence, potentially containing a certain number of errors, ContextSpellChecker will rank correction sequences according to three things:

  1. Different correction candidates for each word — word level.
  2. The surrounding text of each word, i.e. it’s context — sentence level.
  3. The relative cost of different correction candidates according to the edit operations at the character level it requires — subword level.

For an in-depth explanation of the module see the article Applying Context Aware Spell Checking in Spark NLP.

For extended examples of usage, see the article Training a Contextual Spell Checker for Italian Language, the Examples and the ContextSpellCheckerTestSpec.

Example

For this example, we use the first Sherlock Holmes book as the training dataset.

import spark.implicits._
import com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.base.DocumentAssembler
import com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.annotators.Tokenizer
import com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.annotators.spell.context.ContextSpellCheckerApproach

import org.apache.spark.ml.Pipeline

val documentAssembler = new DocumentAssembler()
  .setInputCol("text")
  .setOutputCol("document")


val tokenizer = new Tokenizer()
  .setInputCols("document")
  .setOutputCol("token")

val spellChecker = new ContextSpellCheckerApproach()
  .setInputCols("token")
  .setOutputCol("corrected")
  .setWordMaxDistance(3)
  .setBatchSize(24)
  .setEpochs(8)
  .setLanguageModelClasses(1650)  // dependant on vocabulary size
  // .addVocabClass("_NAME_", names) // Extra classes for correction could be added like this

val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(
  documentAssembler,
  tokenizer,
  spellChecker
))

val path = "src/test/resources/spell/sherlockholmes.txt"
val dataset = spark.sparkContext.textFile(path)
  .toDF("text")
val pipelineModel = pipeline.fit(dataset)
