Class CosineDistance
java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.text.similarity.CosineDistance
- All Implemented Interfaces:
EditDistance<Double>,SimilarityScore<Double>
Measures the cosine distance between two character sequences.
It utilizes the CosineSimilarity to compute the distance. Character sequences
are converted into vectors through a simple tokenizer that works with a regular expression
to split words in a sentence.
For further explanation about Cosine Similarity and Cosine Distance, refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity.
