Abstract: The process of resolving names of spatial entities like postal addresses or administrative areas into their whereabouts is called geocoding. It is an error-prone process for multiple reasons: Names of postal address elements like cities, streets, or districts are often reused for historical reasons; structures of postal addresses are only coherent within countries or regions - around the globe addresses are not structured in a canonical way; human users might not adhere even to locally common format for specifying addresses; also, humans often introduce spelling mistakes when referring to a location. In this paper, a log of address searches from human users is used to model user behavior with regards to spelling mistakes. This model is used to generate spelling variants of address tokens which are indexed in addition to the proper spelling. Experiments show that augmenting the index of a geocoder with spelling variants is a valuable approach to handling queries with misspelled toke ns. It enables the system to serve more such queries correctly as compared to a geocoding system supporting edit distances: While this way the recall of such a system is improved, its precision remains on par at the same time.
