Abstract
A method, a structure, and a computer system for unidirectional text comparison. The exemplary embodiments may include determining a first similarity score between a first text string and a second text string, and computing an error term between the first text string and the second text string, wherein the error term incorporates a directionality of the first text string and the second text string. The exemplary embodiments may further include determining a second similarity score based on the first similarity score and the error term.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for unidirectional text comparison, the method comprising:
- determining a first similarity score between a first text string and a second text string;
- computing an error term between the first text string and the second text string, wherein the error term incorporates a directionality of the first text string and the second text string;
- determining a second similarity score based on the first similarity score and the error term.
A computer program product for unidirectional text comparison, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media capable of performing a method, the method comprising:
- determining a first similarity score between a first text string and a second text string;
- computing an error term between the first text string and the second text string, wherein the error term incorporates a directionality of the first text string and the second text string;
- determining a second similarity score based on the first similarity score and the error term.
A computer system for unidirectional text comparison, the system comprising:
- one or more computer processors, one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more of the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors capable of performing a method, the method comprising:
- determining a first similarity score between a first text string and a second text string;
- computing an error term between the first text string and the second text string, wherein the error term incorporates a directionality of the first text string and the second text string;
- determining a second similarity score based on the first similarity score and the error term.
