What Is The
The Fuzzy Wuzzy matching algorithm is one specific algorithm that uses fuzzy matching to find approximate string matches. It is based on the Levenshtein distance, which is a measure of the difference between two strings. The Fuzzy Wuzzy algorithm uses this measure to find approximate string matches, but it also includes additional logic to improve the accuracy of the matches. For example, it may give more weight to certain types of edits, or it may use other techniques to filter out false positives. In this way, the Fuzzy Wuzzy algorithm is a more advanced version of the Levenshtein distance, designed specifically for finding approximate string matches. It can be used to match names in a list of customer records, even if the names are spelled differently or are slightly different.
For licensing reasons, Fuzzy Wuzzy is not available in Tilores. You can investigate the algorithm yourself on Github.
