The paper presents a descriptive account of a Morphological Processing Spelling Approach (MPSA), which substitutes a more conventional spelling instruction, proposed for developing primary school students’ metamorphological knowledge and strategies in English as a foreign language. For the application of the MPSA, seven dictation texts were carefully designed by the researchers, each one includ...

In this work, we address the problem of spelling correction in the Arabic language utilizing the new corpus provided by QALB (Qatar Arabic Language Bank) project which is an annotated corpus of sentences with errors and their corrections. The corpus contains edit, add before, split, merge, add after, move and other error types. We are concerned with the first four error types as they contribute...

Me Gra dev Mc sion men who A Seid con factors such as frequency. This result raises questions about previous studies in which AoA was not controlled and about current theories in which it is not addressed. Analyses of the materials used in previous studies suggest that the observed AoA effects may have been due to other factors. We also found little evidence for an AoA effect in computational m...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Several studies have been conducted in India to determine the prevalence of learning disabilities in school children which has been reported to be 3-10 per cent among students population. The present study was conducted to find out prevalence of specific developmental disorder of scholastic skills in students of classes VII to XII and to find out feasibility of screening...

A query speller is crucial to search engine in improving web search relevance. This paper describes novel methods for use of distributional similarity estimated from query logs in learning improved query spelling correction models. The key to our methods is the property of distributional similarity between two terms: it is high between a frequently occurring misspelling and its correction, and ...

This article deals with the lemmatization of Middle Dutch literature. This text collection—like any other medieval corpus—is characterized by an enormous spelling variation, which makes it difficult to perform a computational analysis of this kind of data. Lemmatization is therefore an essential preprocessing step in many applications, since it allows the abstraction from superficial textual va...

Since named entities are often written in different ways, question answering (QA) and other language processing tasks stand to benefit from entity matching. We address the problem of finding equivalent person names in unstructured text. Our approach is a generalization of spelling correction: We compare to candidate matches by applying a set of edits to an input name. We introduce a novel unsup...

A context-based spelling error is a spelling or typing error that turns an intended word into another word of language. Most of the methods that tried to solve this problem were depended on the confusion sets. Confusion set are collection of words where each word in the confusion set is ambiguous with the other words in the same set. the machine learning and statistical methods depend on predef...
