LSTM-Based NLP Approach for Spelling Error Detection and Correction in Scientific Writing Indonesian Language

Abstract

Scientific writing requires precision and clarity to uphold credibility and effective communication. Errors such as spelling mistakes and typos can compromise the quality and reliability of scientific texts. This study proposes a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based approach to detect and correct spelling errors, enhancing text accuracy and readability. The dataset comprises 45,698 standard words, supplemented with typo variations to improve model performance. Data is sourced from the Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) and undergoes normalization and preprocessing to capture diverse error patterns. The model’s performance is evaluated using a confusion matrix, achieving 93% accuracy and high precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. These results demonstrate that the proposed NLP-based LSTM model offers an effective and reliable solution for identifying and correcting spelling errors. This approach significantly enhances the quality of scientific writing, ensuring more transparent and credible communication.
