Advanced algorithm for approximate string matching
$100-500 USD
Paid on delivery
We want an advanced algorithm for approximate string matching in PHP. WE DO NOT WANT something like "levenshtein()" or "similar_text()". We also DO NOT WANT an algorithm that calculates how many letters are in different position(like levenshtein() does) or anything like this. We want an algorithm that is able to find the closest word to the misspelled one. For example if we have the misspelled word "nikos" and we compare it with the words "nikolaos" and "panos" using levenstein(), the result would be 3 for "nikolaos" and "panos" while a human understands that the word "nikos" comes from the word "nikolaos". So we want an algorithm that can find-out the ROOT of two words and can accomplish what a human does: can find out the nearest word to the misspelled one with accuracy. The result should be a percent ( % ). Also consider that you will need to use advanced mathematics and concepts to complete this bid.
