    A spelling corrector for basque based on morphology

    This paper describes the components used in the elaboration of the commercial Xuxen spelling checker/corrector for Basque. Because Basque is a highly inflected and agglutinative language, the spelling checker/corrector has been conceived as a by-product of a general purpose morphological analyser/generator. The spelling checker/corrector performs morphological decomposition in order to check misspellings and, to correct them, uses a new strategy which combines the use of an additional two-level morphological subsystem for orthographic errors, and the recognition of correct morphemes inside the world-form during the generation of proposals for typographical errors. Due to a late process of standardization of Basque, Xuxen is intended as a useful tool for standardization purposes of present day written Basque

    Spell checkers and correctors : a unified treatment

    The aim of this dissertation is to provide a unified treatment of various spell checkers and correctors. Firstly, the spell checking and correcting problems are formally described in mathematics in order to provide a better understanding of these tasks. An approach that is similar to the way in which denotational semantics used to describe programming languages is adopted. Secondly, the various attributes of existing spell checking and correcting techniques are discussed. Extensive studies on selected spell checking/correcting algorithms and packages are then performed. Lastly, an empirical investigation of various spell checking/correcting packages is presented. It provides a comparison and suggests a classification of these packages in terms of their functionalities, implementation strategies, and performance. The investigation was conducted on packages for spell checking and correcting in English as well as in Northern Sotho and Chinese. The classification provides a unified presentation of the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques studied in the research. The findings provide a better understanding of these techniques in order to assist in improving some existing spell checking/correcting applications and future spell checking/correcting package designs and implementations.Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2009.Computer Scienceunrestricte
