Abstract
Candidate suggestions for correcting misspelled query terms input into a search application are automatically generated. A score for each candidate suggestion can be generated using a first decoding pass and paths through the suggestions can be ranked in a second decoding pass. Candidate suggestions can be generated based on typographical errors, phonetic mistakes and/or compounding mistakes. Furthermore, a ranking model can be developed to rank candidate suggestions to be presented to a user.
