Calculate Jaccard Similarity of two character vectors
Usage
jaccard_similarity(a, b, ngram_width = 2, nthread = NULL)
Arguments
- a
the first character vector
- b
the first character vector
- ngram_width
the length of the shingles / ngrams used in the
similarity calculation
- nthread
Maximum number of threads to use. If NULL (default),
Rayon's global thread pool is used, which typically uses all logical
CPU cores available.
Value
a vector of jaccard similarities of the strings
Examples
jaccard_similarity(
c("the quick brown fox", "jumped over the lazy dog"),
c("the quck bron fx", "jumped over hte lazy dog")
)
#> [1] 0.5714286 0.7692308
