This is why we * must advocate the usage of probabilities. This means that instead of * just guessing, instead we're trying to find the correction for C, * out of all possible corrections that maximizes the probability of C * for the original identifer I. * * Bayes' Therom suggests something of the following: * AC P(I|C) P(C) / P(I) * Since P(I) is the same for every possibly I, we can ignore it giving * AC P(I|C) P(C) * * This greatly helps visualize how the parts of the expression are performed * there is essentially three, from right to left we perform the following: * * 1: P(C), the probability that a proposed correction C will stand on its * own. This is called the language model. * * 2: P(I|C), the probability that I would be used, when the programmer * really meant C. This is the error model. * * 3: AC, the control mechanisim, an enumerator if you will, one that * enumerates all feasible values of C, to determine the one that * gives the greatest probability score. * * In reality the requirement for a more complex expression involving * two seperate models is considerably a waste. But one must recognize * that P(C|I) is already conflating two factors. It's just much simpler * to seperate the two models and deal with them explicitaly. To properly * estimate P(C|I) you have to consider both the probability of C and * probability of the transposition from C to I. It's simply much more * cleaner, and direct to seperate the two factors. * * Research tells us that 80% to 95% of all spelling errors have an edit * distance no greater than one. Knowing this we can optimize for most * cases of mistakes without taking a performance hit. Which is what we * base longer edit distances off of. Opposed to the original method of * I had concieved of checking everything. * * A little information on additional algorithms used: * * Initially when I implemented this corrector, it was very slow. * Need I remind you this is essentially a brute force attack on strings, * and since every transformation requires dynamic memory allocations, * you can easily imagine where most of the runtime conflated. Yes * It went right to malloc. More than THREE MILLION malloc calls are * performed for an identifier about 16 bytes long. This was such a * shock to me. A forward allocator (or as some call it a bump-point * allocator, or just a memory pool) was implemented. To combat this. * * But of course even other factors were making it slow. Initially * this used a hashtable. And hashtables have a good constant lookup * time complexity. But the problem wasn't in the hashtable, it was * in the hashing (despite having one of the fastest hash functions * known). Remember those 3 million mallocs? Well for every malloc * there is also a hash. After 3 million hashes .. you start to get * very slow. To combat this I had suggested burst tries to Blub. * The next day he had implemented them. Sure enough this brought * down the runtime by a factory > 100% * * Future Work (If we really need it) * * Currently we can only distinguishes one source of error in the * language model we use. This could become an issue for identifiers * that have close colliding rates, e.g colate->coat yields collate. * * Currently the error model has been fairly trivial, the smaller the * edit distance the smaller the error. This usually causes some un- * expected problems. e.g reciet->recite yields recipt. For QuakeC * this could become a problem when lots of identifiers are involved. * * Our control mechanisim could use a limit, i.e limit the number of * sets of edits for distance X. This would also increase execution * speed considerably. */ #define CORRECT_POOLSIZE (128*1024*1024) /* * A forward allcator for the corrector. This corrector requires a lot * of allocations.
