Steinhaus Transforms of Fuzzy String Distances in Computational Linguistics
2018In this paper we deal with distances for fuzzy strings in [0, 1] n, to be used in distance-based linguistic classification. We start from the fuzzy Hamming distance, anticipated by the linguist Muljačić back in 1967, and the taxicab distance, which both generalize the usual crisp Hamming distance, using in the first case the standard logical ...

Computational Linguistic Distances and Big Data
2018Linguistic distance has always been an inter-language issue, but English being a interwoven cluster of rhyming words, homophones, tenses etc., has turned linguistic distance into an intra-language unit to measure the similarity of sounds. In many theoretical and applied areas of computational linguistics i.e., Big Data, researchers operate with a ...
