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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
