@conference {Gueddah2016, title = {The filtered combination of the weighted edit distance and the Jaro-Winkler distance to improve spellchecking Arabic texts}, booktitle = {Proceedings of IEEE/ACS International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications, AICCSA}, volume = {2016-July}, year = {2016}, note = {cited By 0}, abstract = {The digital environments for human learning have been much evolving thanks to the incredible progress of information technologies. This is particularly the case for automatic correction of spelling errors requested by a large majority of people nowadays. Almost all of the current spellcheckers are semiautomatic, and they enable users to find the good solution for a committed error. The major shortcoming of the existing metric methods of correction lies in the bad scheduling of the solutions suggested to the spellchecking out of context of a detected error. To overcome this limitation, we have developed several approaches which suggest probability costs estimated from a learning test. It is attributed in various editing operations during calculating measure of similarity, case of the edit distance. The idea developed in this work was to know how to efficiently weigh these editing operations without resorting to a phase of learning. This is based only on the proximity and the similarity between Arabic keyboard keys. Additionally, we have suggested combining this measure with the distance of Jaro-Winkler in order to better filter, refine and weigh certain solutions compared to others. The experimental results stem from tests conducted on errors committed in a learning corpus, trying to validate the choices of conception and to prove the interest of both approaches. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/AICCSA.2015.7507128}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84980349949\&doi=10.1109\%2fAICCSA.2015.7507128\&partnerID=40\&md5=4274ec18faa9128a9efb4ef1c135fe25}, author = {Gueddah, H.a and Yousfi, A.b and Belkasmi, M.a} } @conference {Gueddah2013, title = {The impact of arabic inter-character proximity and similarity on spell-checking}, booktitle = {2013 8th International Conference on Intelligent Systems: Theories and Applications, SITA 2013}, year = {2013}, note = {cited By 0}, abstract = {Following a statistical study carried out on the typographical errors committed when typing documents in Arabic language, it was found that most of these typos are character permutation errors, accounting for 65\% of overall errors. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/SITA.2013.6560811}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84883129467\&doi=10.1109\%2fSITA.2013.6560811\&partnerID=40\&md5=a0c5fdf32bbc85908946854321fb8cd0}, author = {Gueddah, H.a and Yousfi, A.b} }
