  3. 12. Spelling Normalization of English Student Writings

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Yuchan HONG; [2018]
    Keywords : spelling normalization; English student writings; phonetic similarity comparison; Levenshtein edit distance; character-based statistical machine translation; character-based neural machine translation;

    Abstract : Spelling normalization is the task to normalize non-standard words into standard words in texts, resulting in a decrease in out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words in texts for natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as information retrieval, machine translation, and opinion mining, improving the performance of various NLP applications on normalized texts. In this thesis, we explore different methods for spelling normalization of English student writings including traditional Levenshtein edit distance comparison, phonetic similarity comparison, character-based Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) and character-based Neural Machine Translation (NMT) methods.

  6. 15. Unsupervised Normalisation of Historical Spelling : A Multilingual Evaluation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Nicklas Bergman; [2018]
    Keywords : spelling normalisation; historical spelling normalisation;

    Abstract : Historical texts are an important resource for researchers in the humanities. However, standard NLP tools typically perform poorly on them, mainly due to the spelling variations present in such texts. One possible solution is to normalise the spelling variations to equivalent contemporary word forms before using standard tools. READ MORE
