DeezyMatch: A Flexible Deep Learning Approach to Fuzzy String Matching
We present DeezyMatch, a free, open-source software library written in Python for fuzzy string matching and candidate ranking. Its pair classifier supports various deep neural network architectures for training new classifiers and for fine-tuning a pretrained model, which paves the way for transfer learning in fuzzy string matching. This approach...Hosseini, Kasra ; Nanni, Federico ; Coll Ardanuy, Mariona
