Fast Fuzzy String matching dictionary. Based on Simple and Efficient Algorithm for Approximate Dictionary Matching by Naoaki Okazaki and Jun’ichi Tsujii [1].
val fuzzyHash = FuzzyMap(List( ("Barack Obama", "ID1"),
("Barack O", "ID2"),
("Barack", "ID3"),
("Washington", "ID4")))
fuzzyHash.get("Barack", 1.0, Cosine)
// Some(List("ID3"))
fuzzyHash.get("Barack", 0.5, Cosine)
// Some(List("ID3", "ID2", "ID1"))
fuzzyHash.getMatches("Barack", 0.5, Cosine)
// Some(List(("Barack", "ID3"), ("Barack O", "ID2"), ("Barack Obama", "ID1")))- Fuzzy Matches:
- Cosine
- Dice (soon)
- Jaccard (soon)
Finding fuzzy matches among the items in the hash is very fast. This is useful in scenarios when you have a massive number of Strings which you want to constantly query using Fuzzy Search.
