我可以用Ruby测量两个字符串之间的距离吗?

即:

compare('Test', 'est') # Returns 1
compare('Test', 'Tes') # Returns 1
compare('Test', 'Tast') # Returns 1
compare('Test', 'Taste') # Returns 2
compare('Test', 'tazT') # Returns 5

由于本机C绑定,更容易和更快:

gem install levenshtein-ffi
gem install levenshtein

require 'levenshtein'

Levenshtein.normalized_distance string1, string2, threshold

我为你找到了这个:

def levenshtein_distance(s, t)
  m = s.length
  n = t.length
  return m if n == 0
  return n if m == 0
  d = Array.new(m+1) {Array.new(n+1)}

  (0..m).each {|i| d[i][0] = i}
  (0..n).each {|j| d[0][j] = j}
  (1..n).each do |j|
    (1..m).each do |i|
      d[i][j] = if s[i-1] == t[j-1]  # adjust index into string
                  d[i-1][j-1]       # no operation required
                else
                  [ d[i-1][j]+1,    # deletion
                    d[i][j-1]+1,    # insertion
                    d[i-1][j-1]+1,  # substitution
                  ].min
                end
    end
  end
  d[m][n]
end

[ ['fire','water'], ['amazing','horse'], ["bamerindos", "giromba"] ].each do |s,t|
  puts "levenshtein_distance('#{s}', '#{t}') = #{levenshtein_distance(s, t)}"
end

这是非常棒的输出:=)

levenshtein_distance('fire', 'water') = 4
levenshtein_distance('amazing', 'horse') = 7
levenshtein_distance('bamerindos', 'giromba') = 9

Rubygems中有一种实用方法实际上应该是公开的,但不管怎么说:

require "rubygems/text"
ld = Class.new.extend(Gem::Text).method(:levenshtein_distance)

p ld.call("asd", "sdf") => 2

更为简单,我有时会露出红宝石......

# Levenshtein distance, translated from wikipedia pseudocode by ross

def lev s, t
  return t.size if s.empty?
  return s.size if t.empty?
  return [ (lev s.chop, t) + 1,
           (lev s, t.chop) + 1,
           (lev s.chop, t.chop) + (s[-1, 1] == t[-1, 1] ? 0 : 1)
       ].min
end

Ruby 2.3 及更高版本附带 did_you_mean gem,其中包含 DidYouMean::Levenshtein.distance。适合大多数情况,默认可用。

DidYouMean::Levenshtein.distance("Test", "est") # => 1

我制作了一个damerau-levenshtein gem,其中算法在C

中实现
require "damerau-levenshtein"
dl = DamerauLevenshtein
dl.distance("Something", "Smoething") #returns 1

我喜欢DigitalRoss'解决方案如上但是,正如dawg所指出的那样,它的运行时增长了O(n^3),这对于更长的字符串来说并不好。 使用memoization或“动态编程”

可以大大加快解决方案的速度
def lev(string1, string2, memo={})
  return memo[[string1, string2]] if memo[[string1, string2]]
  return string2.size if string1.empty?
  return string1.size if string2.empty?
  min = [ lev(string1.chop, string2, memo) + 1,
          lev(string1, string2.chop, memo) + 1,
          lev(string1.chop, string2.chop, memo) + (string1[-1] == string2[-1] ? 0 : 1)
       ].min
  memo[[string1, string2]] = min
  min
end

然后我们有更好的运行时间(我认为它几乎是线性的?我不太确定)。

[9] pry(main)> require 'benchmark'
=> true
[10] pry(main)> @memo = {}
=> {}
[11] pry(main)> Benchmark.realtime{puts lev("Hello darkness my old friend", "I've come to talk with you again")}
26
