LISP programming---------- very urgent

The purpose of this project is to learn the basics of lisp, before we have considered core areas of AI, such as search or KR.

The program involves writing a spelling correction system that uses a Soundex function (that I will provide) as the basis for suggesting candidates. Soundex maps words onto an alphanumeric code such that words that have similar phonemes (sounds) get mapped to the same code. It is good for correcting genuine mis-spellings, rather than typos.

In your code, you are free to use any common lisp function or data type. In fact, before you consider writing any function I encourage you to search the lisp documentation online to see if it already exists. Most will. In general, the built in functions will run faster than those that you write yourself.

Functions you will need to write:

1. load_dictionary

Args: a string that is the name of a file

Body: Given a file where each line contains a single word followed by

an integer corresponding to the frequency in a corpus,

it should build the following two tables and return the number of words

(that is lines) read.

*spelling_dict* which is a table with an entry for each word, where the

word is the key and the frequency is the value

*soundex_dict* which is a table with an entry for each soundex code,

where the code is the key and the value is the list of words from

the *spelling_dict* that map to that key

EXAMPLE:

(load_dictionary "[login to view URL]")

should return 1000. Sample entries are noted below.

The value for 'the in the *spelling_dict* table should be 23135851162

The value for 'the in the *soundex_dict* table should be a list with

the following elements (possibly in a different order):

(T THE THEY TO TOO TWO)

2. lookup

Args: a string corresponding to word

Body: Confirms that the word is in the dictionary and returns the stored

frequency, if the word is there, and NIL otherwise

EXAMPLE:

After loading "[login to view URL]",

(lookup "the") should return

23135851162

3. correctSX

Args: a string corresponding to a word

Body: Calculates and returns a list of candidate respellings, based on the

Soundex equivalent words, sorted alphabetically. Returns NIL if there were no

soundex equivalents found

EXAMPLE:

After loading "[login to view URL]"

(correctSX "thim") should return

(TEAM TEEN THAN THEM THEN TIME TOWN)

4. correctSX_SIM

Args: A string corresponding to a possible word

Body: Calculates and returns a list of candidate respellings, based on the

Soundex equivalent words, sorted by their similarity to the provided

word where similarity is defined as the number of letters in

common. For example: the similarity "cat" "tic" is 2. It returns NIL if

no soundex equivalents are found

EXAMPLE:

After loading "[login to view URL]", (correctSX_SIM "thim") should return

(THEM TIME TEAM THEN THAN TOWN TEEN)

Assessment criteria:

Correctness

Your code should load and run correctly. The input and output must match the specification exactly so that it can be tested using another lisp program. Incorrectly formatted input or ouput values will prevent the entire function from being counted as correct.

Documentation and Testing

Your code should have internal comments to explain what each function is for and what types of arguments it expects.

Test your program using enough cases to show that it works for different size puzzles and search strategies. To submit multiple examples of input and output files, after you do a test run, you should manually rename the input and output files, e.g.

Mp1.in_test1 mp1.out_test1
