Abstract
This special issue contains four articles based on and expanded from systems presented at the SIGHAN-7 Chinese Spelling Check Bakeoff. We provide an overview of the approaches and designs for Chinese spelling checkers presented in these articles. We conclude this introductory article with a summary of possible future directions.
