Hello, Currently I have a scenario where a list of curse words is put to a trie, and then words entered by users (not text, but individual words) are run...
I'm afraid edit distance won't be sufficient due to the example you mention. This isn't an implementation issue, though it will slow down as you get more and...
Little confused, I understand when using approximate matcher, as the size of the dictionary grows the speed goes down. Question: approximate matcher tries to...
may I add the language is turkish. I have looked at both soundex and metaphone, but i think these are language dependent. I could have a list of clean words,...
... The results won't be equivalent. The string vs. string edit distance matches the whole strings against each other, whereas the approximate chunker looks...
Dear Bob, Thank you for your explanatory post. What I have done was to only check words with more then 6+ inputs, with a max distance of 2. It works fairly...

Dear Bob, my problem is multilanguage in the sense that I handle documents that can be written in German, French, Spanish and so on, each document is written...
... Nothing free and fast, I'm afraid. We don't have corpora in French or German. Spanish is easy -- you can get it from the CoNLL data. You can get Spanish...
Hello- I'm having a blank. In the context of spell checking, is the edit distance used between the user-entered term and the suggested term, or the reverse? I...

Hi Bob, I have a question on Model Quality. I used the ChineseToken sample to generated a words-zh-as.CompiledSpellChecker model, which has size 78,303KB. I...

Hi Bob, Thanks for replying. Does longer n-grams model mean more accuracy? How do I prune out low-count sequences from model using LingPipe? I have some...
