Jaro-Winkler
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Is the Jaro-Winkler algorithm being implemented or not?
In the documentation I can see it in the table but not in the API
no, please share me a url about the Jaro-Winkler algorithm
i don't know much about it myself. I have a use case where I need to compare names and I chose this library due to the fact that it implements multiple algorithms.
That being said, here are a few links to pages about Jaro-Winkler algorithm:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro%E2%80%93Winkler_distance#See_also
- https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/jaro-and-jaro-winkler-similarity/#
- https://www.statology.org/jaro-winkler-similarity/
And here a paper about various string metrics for matching names and records which I believe touches various algorithms: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/Web/People/wcohen/postscript/kdd-2003-match-ws.pdf
Here another paper about comparing names: http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~Peter.Christen/publications/tr-cs-06-02.pdf
I hope they help.
