This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series Typo detection

Typos There is nothing worse than when you spend hours, days (weeks?) writing something and then you revisit it and find it peppered with dumb, […]

## Typo Detection Part II Other Writers

This entry is part 2 of 6 in the series Typo detection

I have been playing with something to try and detect annoying typos. It uses a natural language processor (at the moment I’m using Stanford Parser) to […]

## Typo Detection Part III Comparing Matrices with the Vector Distance

This entry is part 3 of 6 in the series Typo detection

In the last typos-detection-posts I worked out the POS transition matrices for 3 classic books, to serve as comparisons of  “exemplary writing” to compare to […]

## Typo Detection Part IV: Comparing Matrices with The Pearson coefficient.

This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series Typo detection

I cut the last post, where I was looking at ways to quantify the similarity between two matrices, I cut things short – the post […]

## Typo Detection Part V: Comparing Matrices

This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series Typo detection

In the last couple of posts, I considered whether the Frobenius distance/norm or Pearson correlation coefficient were appropriate ways to compare my 4 POS transition matrices. Also, […]

## Typo Detection Part VI: End of the comparisons, for now

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series Typo detection

So, I’ve spent a bit of time comparing my writing’s transition matrix with three classic authors – Hemingway, Baum and Darwin. This, really, was a […]
