Abstract
A system and method provide bidirectional context-based text disambiguation. In one implementation, a processor receives an input text comprising a set of string objects, which may include ambiguous objects such as incomplete or unrecognizable words of a selected language. The processor identifies a set of candidate word objects corresponding to at least a first one of the string objects and a second one of the string objects. Each candidate word object represents, for example, a complete or recognizable word of the selected language. The processor outputs a selected word object in place of a first one of the string objects, as a function of a contextual comparison between one or more candidate word objects corresponding to the first string object and one or more candidate word objects corresponding to the second string object.
