> 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.
