A better similarity ranking algorithm for variable length strings
问题 I\'m looking for a string similarity algorithm that yields better results on variable length strings than the ones that are usually suggested (levenshtein distance, soundex, etc). For example, Given string A: \"Robert\", Then string B: \"Amy Robertson\" would be a better match than String C: \"Richard\" Also, preferably, this algorithm should be language agnostic (also works in languages other than English). 回答1: Simon White of Catalysoft wrote an article about a very clever algorithm that
