Fuzzy Match Python API Reference

Overview

FuzzyMatch provides FuzzyMatch class which has interfaces to enable fuzzy match in batch mode.

Maximum length of blacklist/query string: 64

startFuzzyMatch Interface

Initialize and set up FuzzyMatch software and Alveo cards.

startFuzzyMatch()

fuzzyMatchLoadVec Interface

Load and preprocess the input table.

Parameters:

patternList : list of strings

patternId : list of Int. the Id for each string in patternList. if null, pass empty list. if pass empty list, internally will be assigned sequential id as default;

Return: status: integer. 0: successful; 1: fail

fuzzyMatchLoadVec(patternList,patternId)

executefuzzyMatch Interface

Run fuzzymatch in batch mode. Check each input string in inputStr list has fuzzymatch against the pattern strings loaded using fuzzyMatchLoadVec interface.

Parameters:

inputStr : list of input strings.

similarityLevel : similarity threshold. value range [0-100]. 100 means exact same.

Return: 2D array of pairs. Each row represents array of matched result pairs {id,score}. Maximum top 100 of pairs for each input string result.
