Implementation and an Evaluation of a Search Function Allowing Misspelling for a Japanese Learning System

Abstract

Search functions are useful in foreign language learning. Learners may sometimes make spelling mistakes. This makes it difficult to find the information they need using a search function. The target of this research is to implement and evaluate a grammar search function allowing misspelling for a Japanese learning system. As the result of an evaluation, we found that our search function is superior to a simple search function in terms of accuracy.
