Yes definetely. Unfortunately my oldwebsite is down at the organisation i
worked at. It contained more details of the projects.

However here are the links to papers:

I would be happy to propose some methods to tackle errors. I was wondering
whether I could have a look at the digitized text corpora itself. for e.g.
I know there can be a wrongly recognized characters, spelling mistakes and
such. However I thought I would get a better idea about other errors if I
saw some of the documents for which such search would be built.  Do you
think this is possible?

I will look at ElasticSearch.

Thanks again!
