# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Pledge
|
||||
|
||||
We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
|
||||
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
|
||||
size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
|
||||
identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
|
||||
nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual
|
||||
identity and orientation.
|
||||
|
||||
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
|
||||
diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
|
||||
|
||||
## Our Standards
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
|
||||
community include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
|
||||
* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
|
||||
* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
|
||||
* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
|
||||
and learning from the experience
|
||||
* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall
|
||||
community
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
|
||||
|
||||
* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of
|
||||
any kind
|
||||
* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
|
||||
* Public or private harassment
|
||||
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address,
|
||||
without their explicit permission
|
||||
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
|
||||
professional setting
|
||||
|
||||
## Enforcement Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
|
||||
acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
|
||||
response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
|
||||
or harmful.
|
||||
|
||||
Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
|
||||
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
|
||||
not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
|
||||
decisions when appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope
|
||||
|
||||
This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
|
||||
an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
|
||||
Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
|
||||
posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
|
||||
representative at an online or offline event.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
|
||||
reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at conduct@maxbachmann.de.
|
||||
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
|
||||
|
||||
All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
|
||||
reporter of any incident.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enforcement Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
|
||||
the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Correction
|
||||
|
||||
**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
|
||||
unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
|
||||
clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
|
||||
behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Warning
|
||||
|
||||
**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
|
||||
actions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
|
||||
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
|
||||
those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
|
||||
includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
|
||||
like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent
|
||||
ban.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Temporary Ban
|
||||
|
||||
**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
|
||||
sustained inappropriate behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
|
||||
communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
|
||||
private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
|
||||
with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
|
||||
Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Permanent Ban
|
||||
|
||||
**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
|
||||
standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
|
||||
individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
|
||||
community.

Levenshtein
|

-----------
|

|

.. automodule:: rapidfuzz.distance.Levenshtein
|
||||
|

This implementation supports the usage of different weights for
|
||||
Insertion/Deletion/Substitution. The uniform Levenshtein distance refers to ``weights=(1,1,1)``
|
||||
and the Indel distance refers to ``weights=(1,1,2)``. All other weights are refered to
|
||||
as generic Levenshtein distance.

Performance
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Since the Levenshtein module uses different implementations based on the weights
|
||||
used, this leads to different performance characteristics. The following sections
|

show the performance for the different possible weights.
|

|

Uniform

~~~~~~~
|
||||
The following image shows a benchmark of the uniform Levenshtein distance in
|
||||
multiple Python libraries. All of them are implemented either in C/C++ or Cython.
|
||||
The graph shows, that python-Levenshtein is the only library with a time
|
||||
complexity of ``O(NM)``, while all other libraries have a time complexity of
|
||||
``O([N/64]M)``. Especially for long strings RapidFuzz is a lot faster than
|
||||
all the other tested libraries.

Implementation Notes
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Depending on the used input parameters, different optimized implementation are used
|
||||
to improve the performance. These implementations are described in the following
|
||||
sections.
|
||||
|
||||
Uniform
|
||||
~~~~~~~
|
||||
The implementation for the uniform Levenshtein distance has a worst-case
|
||||
performance of ``O([N/64]M)``. It uses the following optimized implementations:
|
||||
|
||||
- if score_cutoff is 0 the similarity can be calculated using a direct comparision,
|
||||
since no difference between the strings is allowed. The time complexity of
|
||||
this algorithm is ``O(N)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- A common prefix/suffix of the two compared strings does not affect
|
||||
the Levenshtein distance, so the affix is removed before calculating the
|
||||
similarity.
|
||||
|
||||
- If score_cutoff is ≤ 3 the mbleven algorithm is used. This algorithm
|
||||
checks all possible edit operations that are possible under
|
||||
the threshold `score_cutoff`. The time complexity of this algorithm is ``O(N)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the length of the shorter string is ≤ 64 after removing the common affix
|
||||
Hyyrös' algorithm is used, which calculates the Levenshtein distance in
|
||||
parallel. The algorithm is described by :cite:t:`2003:hyrroe`. The time complexity of this
|
||||
algorithm is ``O(N)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the length of the shorter string is ≥ 64 after removing the common affix
|
||||
a blockwise implementation of Hyyrös' algorithm is used, which calculates
|
||||
the Levenshtein distance in parallel (64 characters at a time).
|
||||
The algorithm is described by :cite:t:`2003:hyrroe`. The time complexity of this
|
||||
algorithm is ``O([N/64]M)``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Indel
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
The Indel distance is available as a stand alone implementation. Further details
|
||||
can be found in `here <Indel.html>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Generic
|
||||
~~~~~~~
|
||||
The implementation for other weights is based on Wagner-Fischer.
|
||||
It has a performance of ``O(N * M)`` and has a memory usage of ``O(N)``.
|
||||
Further details can be found in :cite:t:`1974:WagFisch`.

The Levenshtein edit distance allows three types of operations: an insertion, a deletion or a substitution of a character. The Damerau edit distance allows the previous three plus in addition a transposition between two adjacent characters. To our best knowledge the best current practical algorithms for computing these edit distances run in time O(dm) and O(⌈m/w⌉(n + σ)), where d is the edit distance between the two strings, m and n are their lengths (m ≤ n), w is the computer word size and σ is the size of the alphabet. In this paper we present an algorithm that runs in time O(⌈d/w⌉m + ⌈n/w⌉σ) or O(⌈d/w⌉n + ⌈m/w⌉σ). The structure of the algorithm is such, that in practice it is mostly suitable for testing whether the edit distance between two strings is within some pre-determined error threshold. We also present some initial test results with thresholded edit distance computation. In them our algorithm works faster than the original algorithm of Myers.},

|
||||
``O([N/64]M)``. Especially for long strings RapidFuzz is a lot faster than
|
||||
all the other tested libraries.

Insertion = Deletion, Substitution >= Insertion + Deletion:
|
||||
Since every Substitution can be performed as Insertion + Deletion, this variant
|
||||
of the Levenshtein distance only uses Insertions and Deletions. Therefore this
|
||||
variant is often referred to as InDel-Distance. The following implementation
|
||||
is used with a worst-case performance of ``O([N/64]M)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- if max is 0 the similarity can be calculated using a direct comparision,
|
||||
since no difference between the strings is allowed. The time complexity of
|
||||
this algorithm is ``O(N)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- if max is 1 and the two strings have a similar length, the similarity can be
|
||||
calculated using a direct comparision aswell, since a substitution would cause
|
||||
a edit distance higher than max. The time complexity of this algorithm
|
||||
is ``O(N)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- A common prefix/suffix of the two compared strings does not affect
|
||||
the Levenshtein distance, so the affix is removed before calculating the
|
||||
similarity.
|
||||
|
||||
- If max is ≤ 4 the mbleven algorithm is used. This algorithm
|
||||
checks all possible edit operations that are possible under
|
||||
the threshold `max`. As a difference to the normal Levenshtein distance this
|
||||
algorithm can even be used up to a threshold of 4 here, since the higher weight
|
||||
of substitutions decreases the amount of possible edit operations.
|
||||
The time complexity of this algorithm is ``O(N)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the length of the shorter string is ≤ 64 after removing the common affix
|
||||
Hyyrös' lcs algorithm is used, which calculates the Indel distance in
|
||||
parallel. The algorithm is described by [4]_ and is extended with support
|
||||
for UTF32 in this implementation. The time complexity of this
|
||||
algorithm is ``O(N)``.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the length of the shorter string is ≥ 64 after removing the common affix
|
||||
a blockwise implementation of the Hyyrös' lcs algorithm is used, which calculates
|
||||
the Levenshtein distance in parallel (64 characters at a time).
|
||||
The algorithm is described by [4]_. The time complexity of this
|
||||
algorithm is ``O([N/64]M)``.
|
||||
|
||||
The following image shows a benchmark of the Indel distance in RapidFuzz
|
||||
and python-Levenshtein. Similar to the normal Levenshtein distance
|
||||
python-Levenshtein uses a implementation with a time complexity of ``O(NM)``,
|
||||
while RapidFuzz has a time complexity of ``O([N/64]M)``.

Other weights:
|
||||
The implementation for other weights is based on Wagner-Fischer.
|
||||
It has a performance of ``O(N * M)`` and has a memory usage of ``O(N)``.
