The SPECIALIST Lexicon

Mixed-Case Spelling Variants

I. Introduction

From the false postives of the results on Lexicon.2015 test, we found there are other valid spVars are identified by SpVarNorm, but are not in the goldStd. They are categorized into mixed cased spVars. Again, these are error in the Lexicon resulting from the facts that current closed-match (by gSpell) are not able to provide such information to linguists when they add a new terms to lexicon.
