Edit Distances for Matlab

This package provides implementations of the Levenshtein, Damerau- Levenshtein, and weighted edit distance for strings as well as key lists (i.e. cell arrays of strings).

Is the code citable? (for research projects)

This code is part of the work described in [1]. In [1], edit distances are applied to match linguistic descriptions that occur when referring to objects (in order to achieve joint attention in spoken human-robot / human-human interaction).
