In many cases, users may make typing errors. For example, a user wants to type in shenme (meaning what in English) but may type in shenem instead. Existing Pinyin input methods fail in converting such a Pinyin sequence with errors to the right Chinese words. To solve this problem, we developed an efficient error-tolerant Pinyin input method called CHIME'' that can handle typing errors. By incorporating state-of-the-art techniques and language-specific features, the method achieves a better performance than state-of-the-art input methods. It can efficiently find relevant words in milliseconds for an input Pinyin sequence.","doi":"10.5591/978-1-57735-516-8/IJCAI11-424","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2011/424","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2011/0424.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2011/424.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2011/bibtex/424","volume":{"slug":"2011","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2011","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2011/","year":2011,"location":"Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain","dates":"16–22 July 2011","editors":"Toby Walsh","isbn":"978-1-57735-512-0; 978-1-57735-513-7; 978-1-57735-514-4; 978-1-57735-515-1; 978-1-57735-516-8","publisher":"AAAI Press/International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":424,"pages":{"first":2551,"last":2555},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
