I have released a new SymSpell C# version, which fixes the problems with upper case, ligatures, hyphenation, punctuation and American English.

While the output looks better now, there are still some problems with names and email addresses.

Loo g@tu delft. nl Jan van Gem ert1j.c. vang emert@tu delft. nl1 Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands 2 University of Copenhagen Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract How does a user’s prior experience with deep learning impact accuracy? We present an initial study based on 31 participants with different levels of experience.

Their task is to perform hyper parameter optimization for a given deep learning architecture. The results show a strong positive correlation between the participant’s experience and the final performance. They additionally indicate that an experienced participant finds better solutions using fewer resources on average. The data suggests furthermore that participants with no prior experience follow random strategies in their pursuit of optimal hyper parameters. Our study investigates the subjective human factor in comparisons of state of the art results and

scientific reproducibility in deep learning. 1 Introduction The popularity of deep learning in various fields such as image recognition [9,19], speech [11,30], bio informatics [21,24], question answering [3] etc. stems from the seemingly favorable trade off between the recognition accuracy and their optimization burden l ecu net al 20 attribute their success"
