- Abstract
- This article evaluates the effectiveness of spelling-correction and string-similarity matching methods in retrieving similar words in a Maly dictionary associated with a set of query words. The spelling-correction techniques used are SPEEDCOP, Soundex, Davidson, Phonic, and Hartlib. 2 dynamic-programming methods that measure longest common subsequence and edit-cost-distance are used. Several search combinations od query and doctionary words are performed in the experiments, the best being one that stems both query and dictionary words using an existing Malay stemming algorithm. the retrieval effectivness (E) and retrieved and relevant (R&R) mean measure are calculated from weighted combination of recall and precision values. Results from these experiments are then compared with available diagram, a string-similarity method. The best R&R and E results are given by using diagram. Editcost-distances produce the best E results, and both dynamic-programming methods rank second in finding R&R mean measures
