Python text analysis tools: FuzzyWuzzy’s basic string matching

Published March 29, 2020 in data - 0 Comments

The Python FuzzyWuzzy module uses Levenshtein edit distance to implement fuzzy string matching. FuzzyWuzzy’s matching tools return results on a scale from 0 to 100. The simplest matching tool FuzzyWuzzy offers is the ratio(..) function: The basic ratio function works well for simple string matching. However if you’re trying to fuzzy match a single word […]

Python text analysis tools: Levenshtein Distance

Published January 31, 2020 in data - 0 Comments

Figuring out how similar two strings are and then making that similarity a quantitative measurement is a basic problem in text analysis, text mining and natural language processing. There are a number of efficient methods to solve this problem. This survey looks at Python implementations of a simple but widely used method: Levenshtein distance as […]
