This paper introduces an overview of Chinese Spelling Check task at SIGHAN Bake-off 2013. We describe all aspects of the task for Chinese spelling check, consisting of task description, data preparation, performance metrics, and evaluation results. This bake-off contains two subtasks, i.e., error detection and error correction. We evaluate the systems that can automatically point out the spelling errors and provide the corresponding corrections in students ’ essays, summarize the performance of all participants ’ submitted results, and discuss some advanced issues. The hope is that through such evaluation campaigns, more advanced Chinese spelling check techniques will be emerged. 1
