Subject: Re: Probabilistic correction
Thinking a bit more, it seems the biggest problem with this approach at the moment is that it doesn't know the language of individual words, and uses the same statistical model for all parts of the file. Since the models are essentially transition probabilities from one character to the next, it is not a good idea to use the same model for all languages, which vary quite a lot in their typical letter transitions. It's a pity we don't have extra markup like etc. And since OE spelling was not standardized, how do we get the system to recognize e.g. gehycgan, gehicgan, gehicggan, gehicgean and gehiggan as variants rather than one being correct and the rest errors?
