Spelling Variant Patterns - ES (Edit Distance and Sorted Distance)
I. Introduction
After using the normalization and MES (Metaphone, Edit distance & Sorted Distance) more terms (98.5% in Lexicon.2014) are identified and grouped as spelling variants. However, spelling variants such as:
II. Algorithm Details
For those terms are not identified in any spelling variants group, ES algorithm is used to checks two properties:
