Class Summary

Class	Description
AbbreviationsBlocker	Produces candidate pairs that share not-too-common character tokens.
BasicTeacher	Train a StringDistanceLearner.
Blocker	Produces candidate pairs from a MatchData structure, and provides access to those candidate pairs.
Blocker.Pair	Holds a pair of instances, with mutable distance between them.
ClusterNGramBlocker	TokenBlocker for clustering based on NGram co-occurence.
ClusterTokenBlocker	TokenBlocker for clustering.
ExtractAbbreviations	Extracts abbreviation pairs (<short-form, long-form>) from text using an 'abbreviation distance metric' which evaluates the probability of a short-form string being an abbreviation/acronym of another long-form string.
MatchData	Holds data for evaluating a distance metric.
MatchData.Instance	A single item (aka record, string, etc) to match against others.
MatchData.MatchIterator	Iterates over all stored StringWrappers
MatchDataTeacher	Train a StringDistanceLearner using MatchData and a Blocker.
MatchExpt	Perform a matching experiment using a data file, distance function and blocker.
MatchExptScript	Perform a series of match experiments, specified by a script in an input file.
NGramBlocker	Finds all pairs that share a not-too-common character n-gram.
NullBlocker	Inefficient exhausitive blocking algorithm.
SourcedMatchData	Holds data for evaluating a distance metric.
SourcedMatchData.Instance	A single item (aka record, string, etc) to match against others.
SourcedMatchData.MatchIterator	Iterates over all stored StringWrappers
SpecialMatchExpt	Perform a matching experiment using a vocabulary stats file, data file, distance function and blocker.
TokenBlocker	Finds all pairs that share a not-too-common token.
