About Tasreef
The system combines a four-tier rule cascade covering prefix/suffix patterns, word length, and affix class, with a Tier-5 seq2seq LSTM root beam for out-of-vocabulary tokens. A structured human-in-the-loop correction workflow continuously refines rule coverage from real-world usage feedback.
