Recognizing transliterated words using suffix and/or prefix outputs

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, an input file defining correct spellings of one or more transliterated words; generating, by the computing device, suffix outputs based on the one or more transliterated words; generating, by the computing device, a dictionary that maps the suffix outputs to the one or more transliterated words; recognizing, by the computing device, an alternatively spelled transliterated word included in a document as one of the one or more correctly spelled transliterated words using the dictionary; and outputting, by the computing device, information corresponding to the recognized transliterated word.
