Finding Currajong - Fuzzy string searches in Python
With the advent of Big Data, data scrubbing (finding matches in imperfect data) becomes an important issue. In this talk I will look at several algorithms for doing partial matches on strings and names and compare some strengths and weaknesses of each approach. We will also look at Python code and libraries for this work.
