Last, Weeds experimented with distributional measures in real-word spelling correction, much as we have defined it in Hirst and Budanitsky (2005) and in Section 5.1 above, but replacing the semantic relatedness measures with distributional similarity measures.
she varied the experimental procedure in a number of ways, with the consequence that her results are not directly comparable to ours: her test data was the British National Corpus; scope was measured in words, not paragraphs; and relatedness thresholds were replaced by considering the k words most similar to the target word (and k was a parameter).
