 Review comment:
   This is weird. The `IntersectionResult` is also able to calculate the 
jaccard index. In my opinion, this is responsibility of somebody else, and the 
intersection result responsibility should be only store the intersection result.

   The change above is replacing our existing logic to calculate the jaccard 
index in `JacardSimilarity` class. Now it is calling the 
`IntersectionSimilarity` class to get an `IntersectResult`, and then 
calculating the jaccard index. All unit tests still pass this way.
