Damn Cool Algorithms: Levenshtein Automata - Nick's BlogPosted by Nick Johnson | Filed under python, tech, coding, damn-cool-algorithms In a previous Damn Cool Algorithms post, I talked about BK-trees, a clever indexing structure that makes it possible to search for fuzzy matches on a text string based on Levenshtein distance - or any other metric that obeys the triangle inequality. Today, I'm going to describe an alternative approach, which makes it p
