[Corpora-List] Machine Translation and Spelling Correction

[Martin Reynaert]

Dear Nicola,

I have been working on these issues for years. You will find statistics 
for English (based on Reuters RCV1) and Dutch (based on a selection of 
Dutch newspapers) in:

Corpus-Induced Corpus Cleanup

       Author(s): Martin Reynaert
       Reference: In Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference 
on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC-06), Genoa, Italy, 2006.

That is available at http://ilk.uvt.nl.

I wish to eventually make these typo lists public, but have to sort out 
IPR matters first.

In younger papers you can also find statistics on OCR-errors in large 
digitized text collections.

My new system TICCL (Text-Induced Corpus Clean-up) will be made 
available as open-source as soon as I am ready extending and describing 
it, which I hope will be very soon ;0)

Yours,

Martin Reynaert
