This paper addresses the challenge of e-commerce spelling correction services in distinguishing genuine misspellings from novel brand names using unconventional spelling. The authors propose Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), a framework that retrieves product names from a catalog and incorporates them into the context used by a large language model (LLM) fine-tuned for contextual spelling correction. The RAG approach improves spelling correction performance compared to a standalone LLM, with additional fine-tuning of the LLM further enhancing results.

The paper tackles a unique problem in e-commerce spelling correction services, where they must distinguish between genuine misspellings and novel brand names using unconventional spelling. The authors propose a solution called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) that uses a large language model to correct spelling errors. They show that RAG improves spelling correction performance compared to just using the language model alone.
