Chinese Search Query Spell Correction is a task designed to autonomously identify and correct typographical errors within queries in the search engine. Despite the availability of comprehensive datasets like Microsoft Speller and Webis, their monolingual nature and limited scope pose significant challenges in evaluating modern pre-trained language models such as BERT and GPT. To address this, we introduce QSpell 250K, a large-scale benchmark specifically developed for Chinese Query Spelling Correction. QSpell 250K offers several advantages: 1) It contains over 250K samples, which is ten times more than previous datasets. 2) It covers a broad range of topics, from formal entities to everyday colloquialisms and idiomatic expressions. 3) It includes both Chinese and English, addressing the complexities of code-switching. Each query undergoes three rounds of high-fidelity annotation to ensure accuracy. Our extensive testing across three popular models demonstrates that QSpell 250K effectively evaluates the efficacy of representative spelling correctors. We believe that QSpell 250K will significantly advance spelling correction methodologies. The accompanying data and code will be made publicly available.
