TL;DR: The method described assumes that a word which cannot be found in a dictionary has at most one error, which might be a wrong, missing or extra letter or a single transposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Context based spelling correction
TL;DR: Experimental results show that this statistical technique is capable of detecting 76% of simple spelling errors and correcting 73%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generating and evaluating domain-oriented multi-word terms from texts
TL;DR: This paper uses a surrogate for experimentation by relying on pre-existing dictionaries as indicators of domain relevance and an attempt is made to provide a more objective evaluation of the selection procedures used.

Method for improvement accuracy of decision tree based text categorization
TL;DR: In this paper, a text categorization method automatically classifies electronic documents by developing a single pooled dictionary of words for a sample set of documents, and then generating a decision tree model, based on the pooled dictionary, for classifying new documents.
Patent
Automatic labeling of unlabeled text data
TL;DR: The authors used a document collection as a reference answer set and converted members of the answer set to vectors representing centroids of unknown groups of unlabeled text data, and then clustered the unlabelled text data relative to the centroid by a nearest neighbor algorithm and assigned the ID of the relevant answer to all documents in the cluster.
