Distancia de Levenshtein en VBA [cerrado]

Resuelto Yousf asked hace 14 años • 4 respuestas

Tengo una hoja de Excel con datos que quiero obtener. Distancia de Levenshtein entre ellos. Ya intenté exportar como texto, leer desde el script (php), ejecutar Levenshtein (calcular la distancia de Levenshtein), guardarlo en Excel nuevamente.

Pero estoy buscando una manera de calcular mediante programación una distancia de Levenshtein en VBA. ¿Cómo haría para hacerlo?

Traducido de Wikipedia :

Option Explicit
Public Function Levenshtein(s1 As String, s2 As String)

Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim l1 As Integer
Dim l2 As Integer
Dim d() As Integer
Dim min1 As Integer
Dim min2 As Integer

l1 = Len(s1)
l2 = Len(s2)
ReDim d(l1, l2)
For i = 0 To l1
    d(i, 0) = i
Next
For j = 0 To l2
    d(0, j) = j
Next
For i = 1 To l1
    For j = 1 To l2
        If Mid(s1, i, 1) = Mid(s2, j, 1) Then
            d(i, j) = d(i - 1, j - 1)
        Else
            min1 = d(i - 1, j) + 1
            min2 = d(i, j - 1) + 1
            If min2 < min1 Then
                min1 = min2
            End If
            min2 = d(i - 1, j - 1) + 1
            If min2 < min1 Then
                min1 = min2
            End If
            d(i, j) = min1
        End If
    Next
Next
Levenshtein = d(l1, l2)
End Function

?Levenshtein("sábado","domingo")

Gracias a smirkingman por la bonita publicación del código. Aquí hay una versión optimizada.

1) Utilice Asc(Mid$(s1, i, 1) en su lugar. La comparación numérica es generalmente más rápida que la de texto.

2) Utilice Mid$ en lugar de Mid ya que esta última es la versión variante. y agregar $ es la versión de cadena.

3) Utilice la función de aplicación durante mín. (solo preferencia personal)

4) Utilice Long en lugar de Integers, ya que es lo que Excel utiliza de forma nativa.

Function Levenshtein(ByVal string1 As String, ByVal string2 As String) As Long

Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim string1_length As Long
Dim string2_length As Long
Dim distance() As Long

string1_length = Len(string1)
string2_length = Len(string2)
ReDim distance(string1_length, string2_length)

For i = 0 To string1_length
    distance(i, 0) = i
Next

For j = 0 To string2_length
    distance(0, j) = j
Next

For i = 1 To string1_length
    For j = 1 To string2_length
        If Asc(Mid$(string1, i, 1)) = Asc(Mid$(string2, j, 1)) Then
            distance(i, j) = distance(i - 1, j - 1)
        Else
            distance(i, j) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min _
            (distance(i - 1, j) + 1, _
             distance(i, j - 1) + 1, _
             distance(i - 1, j - 1) + 1)
        End If
    Next
Next

Levenshtein = distance(string1_length, string2_length)

End Function

ACTUALIZAR :

Para aquellos que lo deseen: creo que es seguro decir que la mayoría de las personas usan la distancia de Levenshtein para calcular porcentajes de coincidencia difusa. Aquí hay una manera de hacerlo, y he agregado una optimización en la que puedes especificar el mínimo. coincida con el % para devolver (el valor predeterminado es 70%+. Ingrese porcentajes como "50" u "80" o "0" para ejecutar la fórmula independientemente).

El aumento de velocidad proviene del hecho de que la función comprobará si es posible que esté dentro del porcentaje que le das comprobando la longitud de las 2 cuerdas. Tenga en cuenta que hay algunas áreas donde se puede optimizar esta función, pero la he mantenido así por razones de legibilidad. Concatené la distancia en el resultado como prueba de funcionalidad, pero puedes jugar con ella :)

Function FuzzyMatch(ByVal string1 As String, _
                    ByVal string2 As String, _
                    Optional min_percentage As Long = 70) As String

Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim string1_length As Long
Dim string2_length As Long
Dim distance() As Long, result As Long

string1_length = Len(string1)
string2_length = Len(string2)

' Check if not too long
If string1_length >= string2_length * (min_percentage / 100) Then
    ' Check if not too short
    If string1_length <= string2_length * ((200 - min_percentage) / 100) Then

        ReDim distance(string1_length, string2_length)
        For i = 0 To string1_length: distance(i, 0) = i: Next
        For j = 0 To string2_length: distance(0, j) = j: Next

        For i = 1 To string1_length
            For j = 1 To string2_length
                If Asc(Mid$(string1, i, 1)) = Asc(Mid$(string2, j, 1)) Then
                    distance(i, j) = distance(i - 1, j - 1)
                Else
                    distance(i, j) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Min _
                    (distance(i - 1, j) + 1, _
                     distance(i, j - 1) + 1, _
                     distance(i - 1, j - 1) + 1)
                End If
            Next
        Next
        result = distance(string1_length, string2_length) 'The distance
    End If
End If

If result <> 0 Then
    FuzzyMatch = (CLng((100 - ((result / string1_length) * 100)))) & _

Else

Utilice una matriz de bytes para aumentar la velocidad 17 veces

  Option Explicit

  Public Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long

  Sub test()
  Dim s1 As String, s2 As String, lTime As Long, i As Long
  s1 = Space(100)
  s2 = String(100, "a")
  lTime = GetTickCount
  For i = 1 To 100
     LevenshteinStrings s1, s2  ' the original fn from Wikibooks and Stackoverflow
  Next
  Debug.Print GetTickCount - lTime; " ms" '  3900  ms for all diff

  lTime = GetTickCount
  For i = 1 To 100
     Levenshtein s1, s2
  Next
  Debug.Print GetTickCount - lTime; " ms" ' 234  ms

Creo que se volvió aún más rápido... No hizo mucho más que mejorar el código anterior en cuanto a velocidad y resultados como %

' Levenshtein3 tweaked for UTLIMATE speed and CORRECT results
' Solution based on Longs
' Intermediate arrays holding Asc()make difference
' even Fixed length Arrays have impact on speed (small indeed)
' Levenshtein version 3 will return correct percentage
'
Function Levenshtein3(ByVal string1 As String, ByVal string2 As String) As Long

Dim i As Long, j As Long, string1_length As Long, string2_length As Long
Dim distance(0 To 60, 0 To 50) As Long, smStr1(1 To 60) As Long, smStr2(1 To 50) As Long
Dim min1 As Long, min2 As Long, min3 As Long, minmin As Long, MaxL As Long

string1_length = Len(string1):  string2_length = Len(string2)

distance(0, 0) = 0
For i = 1 To string1_length:    distance(i, 0) = i: smStr1(i) = Asc(LCase(Mid$(string1, i, 1))): Next
For j = 1 To string2_length:    distance(0, j) = j: smStr2(j) = Asc(LCase(Mid$(string2, j, 1))): Next
For i = 1 To string1_length
    For j = 1 To string2_length
        If smStr1(i) = smStr2(j) Then
            distance(i, j) = distance(i - 1, j - 1)
        Else
            min1 = distance(i - 1, j) + 1
            min2 = distance(i, j - 1) + 1
            min3 = distance(i - 1, j - 1) + 1
            If min2 < min1 Then
                If min2 < min3 Then minmin = min2 Else minmin = min3
            Else
                If min1 < min3 Then minmin = min1 Else minmin = min3
            End If
            distance(i, j) = minmin
        End If
    Next
Next

' Levenshtein3 will properly return a percent match (100%=exact) based on similarities and Lengths etc...
MaxL = string1_length: If string2_length > MaxL Then MaxL = string2_length
Levenshtein3 = 100 - CLng((distance(string1_length, string2_length) * 100) / MaxL)

End Function
