چکیده

This paper presents a novel approach to spell checking using dictionary clustering. The main goal is to reduce the number of times distances have to be calculated when finding target words for misspellings. The method is unsupervised and combines the application of anomalous pattern initialization and partition around medoids (PAM). To evaluate the method, we used an English misspelling list compiled using real examples extracted from the Birkbeck spelling error corpus.

Between Sound and Spelling: Combining Phonetics and Clustering Algorithms to Improve Target Word Recovery

In this paper we revisit the task of spell checking focusing on target word recovery. We propose a new approach that relies on phonetic information to improve the accuracy of clustering algorithms in identifying misspellings and generating accurate suggestions. The use of phonetic information is not new to the task of spell checking and it was used successfully in previous approaches. The combi...

State-of-the-Art in Weighted Finite-State Spell-Checking

The following claims can bemade about finite-statemethods for spell-checking: 1) Finite-state language models provide support for morphologically complex languages that word lists, affix stripping and similar approaches do not provide; 2) Weighted finite-state models have expressive power equal to other, state-of-the-art string algorithms used by contemporary spell-checkers; and 3) Finite-state...

Personalized Spell Checking using Neural Networks

Spell checkers are one of the most widely recognized and heavily employed features of word processing applications in existence today. This remains true despite the many problems inherent in the spell checking methods employed by all modern spell checkers. In this paper we present a proof-ofconcept spell checking system that is able to intrinsically avoid many of these problems. In particular, ...

A Comparison of Standard Spell Checking Algorithms and a Novel Binary Neural Approach

In this paper we propose a simple, flexible and efficient hybrid spell checking methodology based upon phonetic matching, supervised learning and associative matching in the AURA neural system. We integrate Hamming Distance and n-gram algorithms that have high recall for typing errors and a phonetic spell-checking algorithm in a single novel architecture. Our approach is suitable for any spell ...

Assessment of the Performance of Clustering Algorithms in the Extraction of Similar Trajectories

In recent years, the tremendous and increasing growth of spatial trajectory data and the necessity of processing and extraction of useful information and meaningful patterns have led to the fact that many researchers have been attracted to the field of spatio-temporal trajectory clustering. The process and analysis of these trajectories have resulted in the extraction of useful information whic...
