Fuzzy C Means

Fuzzy C-Means Clustering with Python

Towards Data Science

Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is an unsupervised learning method. Before learning the details, let me first decipher its fancy name. So, “fuzzy” here means “not sure”, which indicates that it’s…

What is Fuzzy Clustering

Towards AI

Fuzzy clustering aims to solve the problem of one-to-many clustering and is a technique that assigns a degree of membership to each data point for each cluster, rather than assigning it to a single cl...

Fuzzy Systems: Life between the 1’s and 0's

Towards Data Science

Fuzzy Systems is a branch of Computational Intelligence hoping to represent the uncertainty of a fuzzy, uncertain world. Fuzzy systems find their inspiration in the imprecision of human language…

FuzzyWuzzy — the Before and After

Towards Data Science

In the previous article, I introduced FuzzyWuzzy library which calculates a 0–100 matching score for a pair of strings. The different FuzzyWuzzy functions enable us to choose the one that would most…

Natural Language Processing for Fuzzy String Matching with Python

Towards Data Science

In computer science, fuzzy string matching is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly). In another word, fuzzy string matching is a type of search…

Type-2 Fuzzy Sets

Towards Data Science

In a previous post, we have seen how we use a fuzzy set of type-1 when we cannot determine the membership of an element as 0 or 1. We can extend this concept when the circumstances are so fuzzy that…

Comparing Python’s Top Tools for Fuzzy Matching: PyFuzzy, FuzzyWuzzy, RecordLinkage, and RapidFuzz

Python in Plain English

Fuzzy matching is a process of matching records in a dataset that have similar, but not necessarily identical data. This type of matching is especially useful when dealing with large datasets, as it…

Understanding a Use Case of Fuzzing in Go

Better Programming

Fuzzing in action Photo by Tim Hüfner on Unsplash “Fuzz testing is a novel way to discover security vulnerabilities or bugs in software applications.” The concept of fuzzing was introduced in 1988, w...

How To Do Fuzzy Matching in Python Pandas Dataframe?

Towards Data Science

Fuzzy string matching or searching is a process of approximating strings that match a particular pattern. It is a very popular add on in Excel. It gives an approximate match and there is no guarantee…...
