Bruno P. Kinoshita created TEXT-21: -------------------------------------- Summary: Have a clear distinction between Edit Distance, String Similarity, Score, Metric, etc Key: TEXT-21 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-21 Project: Commons Text Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Bruno P. Kinoshita Assignee: Bruno P. Kinoshita
>From LANG-1269. A user reported a nomenclature issue in [lang], which occurs in [text] as well. Currently we have an interface called EditDistance, with the following implementations: * CosineDistance * HammingDistance * JaroWrinklerDistance * and LevenshteinDistance JaroWrinkler is actually a similarity score, and not a distance. We have other classes in the oact.similarity package too. * CosineSimilarity * FuzzyScore We need to provide users a clear distinction on what we call an edit distance, similarity or score. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
