  2. Damerau–Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau–Levenshtein_distance

    Thus, we need to consider only two symmetric ways of modifying a substring more than once: (1) transpose letters and insert an arbitrary number of characters between them, or (2) delete a sequence of characters and transpose letters that become adjacent after deletion.

  3. Classical cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_cipher

    In the Chinese cipher's method of transposing, the letters of the message are written from right to left, down and up columns to scramble the letters. Then, starting in the first row, the letters are taken in order to get the new ciphertext. For example, if the message needed to be enciphered was THE DOG RAN FAR, the Chinese cipher would look ...

  4. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    Edit distance finds applications in computational biology and natural language processing, e.g. the correction of spelling mistakes or OCR errors, and approximate string matching, where the objective is to find matches for short strings in many longer texts, in situations where a small number of differences is to be expected.

  5. Transcription error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_error

    Double entry (or more) may also be leveraged to minimize transcription or transposition error, but at the cost of a reduced number of entries per unit time. Mathematical transposition errors are easily identifiable. Add up the numbers that make up the difference and the resultant number will always be evenly divisible by nine. For example, (72 ...

  6. Transposed letter effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposed_letter_effect

    In psychology, the transposed letter effect is a test of how a word is processed when two letters within the word are switched.. The phenomenon takes place when two letters in a word (typically called a base word) switch positions to create a new string of letters that form a new, non-word (typically called a transposed letter non-word or TL non-word).

  7. Transposition cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_cipher

    Step-by-step process for the double columnar transposition cipher. In cryptography, a transposition cipher (also known as a permutation cipher) is a method of encryption which scrambles the positions of characters (transposition) without changing the characters themselves.

  8. Vectorization (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectorization_(mathematics)

    In Python NumPy arrays implement the flatten method, [note 1] while in R the desired effect can be achieved via the c() or as.vector() functions. In R , function vec() of package 'ks' allows vectorization and function vech() implemented in both packages 'ks' and 'sn' allows half-vectorization.

  9. Metathesis (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metathesis_(linguistics)

    Metathesis (/ m ə ˈ t æ θ ə s ɪ s / mə-TATH-ə-siss; from Greek μετάθεσις, from μετατίθημι "to put in a different order"; Latin: transpositio) is the transposition of sounds or syllables in a word or of words in a sentence.
