[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from [email protected] 2012-09-17 22:32:30 UTC --- We could perhaps use "similarity"? "Equals" is somehow triple equality and "same" is somehow double equality. Similarity is used for correlation with higher order statistics. We could say that we use a correlation function (or functions) to measure the similarity, and that the function(s) run over a number of properties (or all). With a little thought we could make something that is fairly efficient, that is basically running over a limited set of properties and testing if they are the same. If many enough of them are the same the two entities will be "similar". It is also possible to extend such similarity measures in several ways, for example by using Levenshtein distance between strings used as properties instead of a double equality. Its not so difficult as it seems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
