Python实现单词拼写检查

这几天在翻旧代码时发现以前写的注释部分有很多单词拼写错误,这些单词错得不算离谱,应该可以用工具自动纠错绝大部分。用 Python 写个拼写检查脚本很容易,如果能很好利用 aspell/ispell 这些现成的小工具就更简单了。

要点

1、输入一个拼写错误的单词,调用 aspell -a 后得到一些候选正确单词,然后用距离编辑进一步嗮选出更精确的词。比如运行 aspell -a,输入 ‘hella' 后得到如下结果:
hell, Helli, hello, heal, Heall, he'll, hells, Heller, Ella, Hall, Hill, Hull, hall, heel, hill, hula, hull, Helga, Helsa, Bella, Della, Mella, Sella, fella, Halli, Hally, Hilly, Holli, Holly, hallo, hilly, holly, hullo, Hell's, hell's

2、什么是距离编辑(Edit-Distance,也叫 Levenshtein algorithm)呢?就是说给定一个单词,通过多次插入、删除、交换、替换单字符的操作后枚举出所有可能的正确拼写,比如输入 ‘hella',经过多次插入、删除、交换、替换单字符的操作后变成:
‘helkla', ‘hjlla', ‘hylla', ‘hellma', ‘khella', ‘iella', ‘helhla', ‘hellag', ‘hela', ‘vhella', ‘hhella', ‘hell', ‘heglla', ‘hvlla', ‘hellaa', ‘ghella', ‘hellar', ‘heslla', ‘lhella', ‘helpa', ‘hello', …

3、综合上面2个集合的结果,并且考虑到一些理论知识可以提高拼写检查的准确度,比如一般来说写错单词都是无意的或者误打,完全错的单词可能性很小,而且单词的第一个字母一般不会拼错。所以可以在上面集合里去掉第一个字母不符合的单词,比如:'Sella', ‘Mella', khella', ‘iella' 等,这里 VPSee 不删除单词,而把这些单词从队列里取出来放到队列最后(优先级降低),所以实在匹配不了以 h 开头的单词才去匹配那些以其他字母开头的单词。

4、程序中用到了外部工具 aspell,如何在 Python 里捕捉外部程序的输入和输出以便在 Python 程序里处理这些输入和输出呢?Python 2.4 以后引入了 subprocess 模块,可以用 subprocess.Popen 来处理。

5、Google 大牛 Peter Norvig 写了一篇 How to Write a Spelling Corrector 很值得一看,大牛就是大牛,21行 Python 就解决拼写问题,而且还不用外部工具,只需要事先读入一个词典文件。本文程序的 edits1 函数就是从牛人家那里 copy 的。

代码

 

#!/usr/bin/python
# A simple spell checker

import os, sys, subprocess, signal

alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

def found(word, args, cwd = None, shell = True):
  child = subprocess.Popen(args, 
    shell = shell, 
    stdin = subprocess.PIPE, 
    stdout = subprocess.PIPE, 
    cwd = cwd, 
    universal_newlines = True) 
  child.stdout.readline()
  (stdout, stderr) = child.communicate(word)
  if ": " in stdout:
    # remove \n\n
    stdout = stdout.rstrip("\n")
    # remove left part until :
    left, candidates = stdout.split(": ", 1) 
    candidates = candidates.split(", ")
    # making an error on the first letter of a word is less 
    # probable, so we remove those candidates and append them 
    # to the tail of queue, make them less priority
    for item in candidates:
      if item[0] != word[0]: 
        candidates.remove(item)
        candidates.append(item)
    return candidates
  else:
    return None

# copy from http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html
def edits1(word):
  n = len(word)
  return set([word[0:i]+word[i+1:] for i in range(n)] +           
    [word[0:i]+word[i+1]+word[i]+word[i+2:] for i in range(n-1)] +
    [word[0:i]+c+word[i+1:] for i in range(n) for c in alphabet] +
    [word[0:i]+c+word[i:] for i in range(n+1) for c in alphabet])

def correct(word):
  candidates1 = found(word, 'aspell -a')
  if not candidates1:
    print "no suggestion"
    return 

  candidates2 = edits1(word)
  candidates = []
  for word in candidates1:
    if word in candidates2:
      candidates.append(word)
  if not candidates:
    print "suggestion: %s" % candidates1[0]
  else:
    print "suggestion: %s" % max(candidates)

def signal_handler(signal, frame):
  sys.exit(0)

if __name__ == '__main__':
  signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler)
  while True:
    input = raw_input()
    correct(input)

更简单的方法

当然直接在程序里调用相关模块最简单了,有个叫做 PyEnchant 的库支持拼写检查,安装 PyEnchant 和 Enchant 后就可以直接在 Python 程序里 import 了:

>>> import enchant
>>> d = enchant.Dict("en_US")
>>> d.check("Hello")
True
>>> d.check("Helo")
False
>>> d.suggest("Helo")
['He lo', 'He-lo', 'Hello', 'Helot', 'Help', 'Halo', 'Hell', 'Held', 'Helm', 'Hero', "He'll"]
>>>

Is the conversion speed fast when converting XML to PDF on mobile phone? Is the conversion speed fast when converting XML to PDF on mobile phone? Apr 02, 2025 pm 10:09 PM

The speed of mobile XML to PDF depends on the following factors: the complexity of XML structure. Mobile hardware configuration conversion method (library, algorithm) code quality optimization methods (select efficient libraries, optimize algorithms, cache data, and utilize multi-threading). Overall, there is no absolute answer and it needs to be optimized according to the specific situation.

How to convert XML files to PDF on your phone? How to convert XML files to PDF on your phone? Apr 02, 2025 pm 10:12 PM

It is impossible to complete XML to PDF conversion directly on your phone with a single application. It is necessary to use cloud services, which can be achieved through two steps: 1. Convert XML to PDF in the cloud, 2. Access or download the converted PDF file on the mobile phone.

What is the function of C language sum? What is the function of C language sum? Apr 03, 2025 pm 02:21 PM

There is no built-in sum function in C language, so it needs to be written by yourself. Sum can be achieved by traversing the array and accumulating elements: Loop version: Sum is calculated using for loop and array length. Pointer version: Use pointers to point to array elements, and efficient summing is achieved through self-increment pointers. Dynamically allocate array version: Dynamically allocate arrays and manage memory yourself, ensuring that allocated memory is freed to prevent memory leaks.

XML formatting tools can type code according to rules to improve readability and understanding. When selecting a tool, pay attention to customization capabilities, handling of special circumstances, performance and ease of use. Commonly used tool types include online tools, IDE plug-ins, and command-line tools.

Is there a mobile app that can convert XML into PDF? Is there a mobile app that can convert XML into PDF? Apr 02, 2025 pm 09:45 PM

There is no APP that can convert all XML files into PDFs because the XML structure is flexible and diverse. The core of XML to PDF is to convert the data structure into a page layout, which requires parsing XML and generating PDF. Common methods include parsing XML using Python libraries such as ElementTree and generating PDFs using ReportLab library. For complex XML, it may be necessary to use XSLT transformation structures. When optimizing performance, consider using multithreaded or multiprocesses and select the appropriate library.

Convert XML to PDF with high quality on your mobile phone requires: parsing XML in the cloud and generating PDFs using a serverless computing platform. Choose efficient XML parser and PDF generation library. Handle errors correctly. Make full use of cloud computing power to avoid heavy tasks on your phone. Adjust complexity according to requirements, including processing complex XML structures, generating multi-page PDFs, and adding images. Print log information to help debug. Optimize performance, select efficient parsers and PDF libraries, and may use asynchronous programming or preprocessing XML data. Ensure good code quality and maintainability.

Is there any mobile app that can convert XML into PDF? Is there any mobile app that can convert XML into PDF? Apr 02, 2025 pm 08:54 PM

An application that converts XML directly to PDF cannot be found because they are two fundamentally different formats. XML is used to store data, while PDF is used to display documents. To complete the transformation, you can use programming languages ​​and libraries such as Python and ReportLab to parse XML data and generate PDF documents.
