  2. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    The closeness of a match is measured in terms of the number of primitive operations necessary to convert the string into an exact match. This number is called the edit distance between the string and the pattern. The usual primitive operations are: [1] insertion: cot → coat; deletion: coat → cot; substitution: coat → cost

  4. Jaro–Winkler distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro–Winkler_distance

    The higher the Jaro–Winkler distance for two strings is, the less similar the strings are. The score is normalized such that 0 means an exact match and 1 means there is no similarity. The original paper actually defined the metric in terms of similarity, so the distance is defined as the inversion of that value (distance = 1 − similarity).

  5. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Blue highlights show the match results of the regular expression pattern: /r[aeiou]+/ g (lower case r followed by one or more lower-case vowels). A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp ), [ 1 ] sometimes referred to as rational expression , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text .

  6. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    In mathematics and computer science, a string metric (also known as a string similarity metric or string distance function) is a metric that measures distance ("inverse similarity") between two text strings for approximate string matching or comparison and in fuzzy string searching.

  7. Nearest neighbor search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearest_neighbor_search

    An approximate nearest neighbor search algorithm is allowed to return points whose distance from the query is at most times the distance from the query to its nearest points. The appeal of this approach is that, in many cases, an approximate nearest neighbor is almost as good as the exact one.

  8. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    In computer science, a lookup table (LUT) is an array that replaces runtime computation with a simpler array indexing operation, in a process termed as direct addressing.The savings in processing time can be significant, because retrieving a value from memory is often faster than carrying out an "expensive" computation or input/output operation.
