What Is The

Jaccard Similarity Coefficient Algorithm?

The Jaccard similarity coefficient, also known as the Jaccard index, is a measure of similarity between two sets. It is defined as the size of the intersection of the two sets divided by the size of the union of the two sets. The Jaccard similarity coefficient ranges from 0, indicating that the two sets have no elements in common, to 1, indicating that the two sets are identical. This metric is commonly used in a variety of fields, including natural language processing and recommendation systems, to calculate the similarity between two sets of data.

At Tilores we use the Jaccard similarity coefficient as one of the potential data record matching algorithms for entity resolution. These can be combined with other matching algorithms to allow fine-tuned data matching and deduplication.
