Chinese spelling check (CSC) is a critical task in processing Chinese texts, impacting a variety of down-streaming tasks, such as information retrieval and search optimization applications. Traditional CSC methods have primarily focused on character-level phonetic and graphic information, often neglecting the crucial role of word segmentation. Our preliminary study reveals that typos frequently lead to incorrect word segmentation, and appropriately identifying word boundaries significantly enhances CSC accuracy. To address this gap, we introduce the Word Segmentation-Enhanced Speller (WOSES), a novel framework that uniquely incorporates word segmentation into the spelling correction process. WOSES is further developed into two distinct variants: the Hierarchical Word Speller (H-WSpeller) and the Word Speller (WSpeller). While both share a common architecture, they differ in their submodule interaction mechanisms, with H-WSpeller focusing on a layered approach and WSpeller employing parallel processing for enhanced efficiency. Our evaluation, conducted using benchmark datasets SIGHAN13, SIGHAN14, and SIGHAN15, demonstrates the effectiveness of our methods. On SIGHAN13 and SIGHAN15, WOSES variants outperform state-of-the-art models, and they achieve comparable results on SIGHAN14. Crucially, our analysis shows that incorporating word segmentation, whether derived from the original text or predicted, significantly boosts the CSC performance, underscoring the importance of this aspect in CSC tasks.
