@Akash: I have implemented Demarau-Levenshtein algorithm but for the eg. I gave above, it outputs 5 instead of 4. For some inputs it is giving the correct output. I think the demarau-levenshtein algo is just:
if(I>0 && J>0 && s1[I]==s2[J-1] && s1[I-1]==s2[J]) table[i][j] = min(min(table[i-1][j]+1,table[i][j-1]+1),min(table[i-1][j-1]+1,table[i-2][j-2]+1)); else table[i][j] = min(min(table[i-1][j]+1,table[i][j-1]+1),table[i-1][j-1]+1); On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 10:55 AM, Aakash Johari <aakashj....@gmail.com>wrote: > Use Demarau-Levenshtein for this purpose :) > > On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 10:24 PM, Akshata Sharma < > akshatasharm...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> what changes should we make in the edit distance algorithm to include the >> swapping of adjacent elements so as to get min edit distance? >> >> eg.
