Python fuzzy matching of names with only first initials
问题 I have a case where I need to match a name from a given string to a database of names. Below I have given a very simple example of the issue that I am running into, and I am unclear as to why one case works over the other? If I'm not mistaken, the Python default algorithm for extractOne() is the Levenshtein distance algorithm. Is it because the Clemens' names provide the first two initials, opposed to only one in the Gonzalez's case? from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz from fuzzywuzzy import process
