• Abstract: Chinese Spelling Correction (CSC) is a critical task in natural language processing, aimed at detecting and correcting spelling errors in Chinese text. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of CSC, tracing its evolution from pre-trained language models to large language models, and critically analyzing their respective strengths and weaknesses in this domain. Moreover, we further present a detailed examination of existing benchmark datasets, highlighting their inherent challenges and limitations. Finally, we propose promising future research directions, particularly focusing on leveraging the potential of LLMs and their reasoning capabilities for improved CSC performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive survey dedicated to the field of CSC. We believe this work will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, fostering a deeper understanding of the field and inspiring future advancements.

  Supervised fine-tuning (SFT), supervised instruction tuning (SIT) and in-context learning (ICL) are three alternative, de facto standard approaches to few-shot learning. We present an extensive and systematic comparison of the three approaches, testing them on 6 high- and low-resource languages, three different NLU tasks, and a myriad of language and domain setups. Our observations show that supervised instruction tuning has the best trade-off between performance and resource requirements.
