Ling Zhang - Building a Fast Fuzzy Searcher and Spell Checker

"Spelling is hard, really hard. It's an everyday user frustration to try to search for a friend's name or the name of a restaurant that they heard but end up writing it wrong. In this talk, we will cover a python implementation of a single fast algorithm that can recover from spelling errors, typing errors, and even transliteration mistakes! We will also integrate this with a language model to make it context aware. With this technique, you can build powerful fuzzy text searchers and spell checkers".
