  2. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    Maximal matches [4] Grammar-based distance [5] TFIDF distance metric [6] There also exist functions which measure a dissimilarity between strings, but do not necessarily fulfill the triangle inequality, and as such are not metrics in the mathematical sense. An example of such function is the Jaro–Winkler distance.

  3. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    Tree patterns are used in some programming languages as a general tool to process data based on its structure, e.g. C#, [1] F#, [2] Haskell, [3] Java [4], ML, Python, [5] Ruby, [6] Rust, [7] Scala, [8] Swift [9] and the symbolic mathematics language Mathematica have special syntax for expressing tree patterns and a language construct for ...

  4. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Regular expressions entered popular use from 1968 in two uses: pattern matching in a text editor [9] and lexical analysis in a compiler. [10] Among the first appearances of regular expressions in program form was when Ken Thompson built Kleene's notation into the editor QED as a means to match patterns in text files.

  5. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A string-searching algorithm, sometimes called string-matching algorithm, is an algorithm that searches a body of text for portions that match by pattern. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet ( finite set ) Σ.

  6. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    With the availability of large amounts of DNA data, matching of nucleotide sequences has become an important application. [1] Approximate matching is also used in spam filtering. [5] Record linkage is a common application where records from two disparate databases are matched. String matching cannot be used for most binary data, such as images ...

  7. Data-driven programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-driven_programming

    Standard examples of data-driven languages are the text-processing languages sed and AWK, [1] and the document transformation language XSLT, where the data is a sequence of lines in an input stream – these are thus also known as line-oriented languages – and pattern matching is primarily done via regular expressions or line numbers.

  8. Record linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_linkage

    Record linkage (also known as data matching, data linkage, entity resolution, and many other terms) is the task of finding records in a data set that refer to the same entity across different data sources (e.g., data files, books, websites, and databases).

  9. Stable marriage problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem

    Maximum weighted matchings do not have to be stable, but in some applications a maximum weighted matching is better than a stable one. The matching with contracts problem is a generalization of matching problem, in which participants can be matched with different terms of contracts. [17]
