# SloBERTa-Incorrect-Spelling-Annotator

This SloBERTa model is designed to annotate incorrectly spelled words in text. It utilizes the following labels:

- 1: Indicates incorrectly spelled words.
- 2: Denotes cases where two words should be written together.
- 3: Suggests that a word should be written separately.

## Model Output Example

Imagine we have the following Slovenian text:

_Model vbesedilu o znači besede, v katerih se najajajo napake._

If we convert input data to format acceptable by SloBERTa model:

_Model <mask> vbesedilu <mask> o <mask> znači <mask> besede <mask> , <mask> v <mask> katerih <mask> se <mask> najajajo <mask> napake <mask> . <mask>_

The model might return the following predictions (note: predictions chosen for demonstration/explanation, not reproducibility!):

_Model 0 vbesedilu 3 o 2 znači 2 besede 0 , 0 v 0 katerih 0 se 0 najajajo 1 napake 0 . 0_

We can observe the following:
1. In the input sentence, the word `najajajo` is spelled incorrectly, so the model marks it with the token (0).
2. The word `vbesedilu` should be written as two words `v` and `besedilu`, so the model marks it with the token (3).
3. The words `o` and `znači` should be written as one word `označi`, so the model marks them with the tokens (2).
