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 "[url removed, login to view]") 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 "[url removed, login to view]", (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 "[url removed, login to view]" (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 "[url removed, login to view]", (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

I have done projects in LISP and dialect of LISP-like Scheme earlier. I can complete this college assignment as expected. I can also explain what is being done and provide well commented and documented code. Let me know if you have any questions for me.
