(LaTeX) Abstract:
 We consider the following spelling variants clustering problem: Given a list
of distinct words, called lexicon, compute (possibly overlapping) clusters of
words which are spelling variants of each other. This problem naturally arises
in the context of error-tolerant full-text search of the following kind: For
a given query, return not only documents matching the query words exactly but
also those matching their spelling variants. This is the inverse of the
well-known "Did you mean: ... ?" web search engine feature, where the error
tolerance is on the side of the query, and not on the side of the documents.

We combine various ideas from the large body of literature on approximate
string searching and spelling correction techniques to a new algorithm for the
spelling variants clustering problem that is both accurate and very efficient
in time and space. Our largest lexicon, containing roughly 10 million words,
can be processed in about 16 minutes on a standard PC using 10 MB of
additional space. This beats the previously best scheme by a factor of two in
running time and by a factor of more than ten in space usage. We have
integrated our algorithms into the CompleteSearch engine in a way that
achieves error-tolerant search without significant blowup in neither index size
nor query processing time.
Keywords:
Spelling variants, approximate string matching, error-tolerant search
