   abstract = "The trigram-based noisy-channel model of real-word spelling-error
            correction that was presented by Mays, Damerau, and Mercer in 1991 has
            never been adequately evaluated or compared with other methods.  We
            analyze the advantages and limitations of the method, and present a
            new evaluation that enables a meaningful comparison with the
            WordNet-based method of Hirst and Budanitsky. The trigram method is
            found to be superior, even on content words. We then improve the
            method further and experiment with a new variation that optimizes over
            fixed-length windows instead of over sentences.",
