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.
