Description-en: fast and simple algorithm for approximate string matching/retrieval
SimString is a simple library for fast approximate string
retrieval. Approximate string retrieval finds strings in a database
whose similarity with a query string is no smaller than a
threshold. Finding not only identical but similar strings, approximate
string retrieval has various applications including spelling
correction, flexible dictionary matching, duplicate detection, and
record linkage.
.
It is implemented using C++ templates.
