php - 具有错误字符容忍度的最长公共(public)子串

Question

我在这里找到了一个脚本，它在寻找最低公共(public)子串时效果很好。

但是，我需要它来容忍一些不正确/缺失的字符。我希望能够输入所需的相似度百分比，或者指定允许的缺失/错误字符数。

例如，我要查找这个字符串:

黄色大校车

这个字符串的内部:

那天下午他们乘坐了大黄校车

这是我目前使用的代码:

function longest_common_substring($words) {
    $words = array_map('strtolower', array_map('trim', $words));
    $sort_by_strlen = create_function('$a, $b', 'if (strlen($a) == strlen($b)) { return strcmp($a, $b); } return (strlen($a) < strlen($b)) ? -1 : 1;');
    usort($words, $sort_by_strlen);

    // We have to assume that each string has something in common with the first
    // string (post sort), we just need to figure out what the longest common
    // string is. If any string DOES NOT have something in common with the first
    // string, return false.
    $longest_common_substring = array();
    $shortest_string = str_split(array_shift($words));

    while (sizeof($shortest_string)) {
        array_unshift($longest_common_substring, '');
        foreach ($shortest_string as $ci => $char) {
            foreach ($words as $wi => $word) {
                if (!strstr($word, $longest_common_substring[0] . $char)) {
                    // No match
                    break 2;
                }
            }
            // we found the current char in each word, so add it to the first longest_common_substring element,
            // then start checking again using the next char as well
            $longest_common_substring[0].= $char;
        }
        // We've finished looping through the entire shortest_string.
        // Remove the first char and start all over. Do this until there are no more
        // chars to search on.
        array_shift($shortest_string);
    }

    // If we made it here then we've run through everything
    usort($longest_common_substring, $sort_by_strlen);

    return array_pop($longest_common_substring);
}

非常感谢任何帮助。

PHP levenshtein 函数限制为 255 个字符，而我正在搜索的一些大海捞针超过 1000 个字符。

将此写为第二个答案，因为它根本不是基于我之前的(糟糕的)答案。

此代码基于http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner%E2%80%93Fischer_algorithm和 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching#Problem_formulation_and_algorithms

在给定 $needle 的情况下，它返回 $haystack 的一个(可能是几个)最小编辑子串。现在，编辑距离只是编辑距离的一种度量，它实际上可能不适合您的需要。 “hte”在这个指标上比“the”更接近“he”。我给出的一些例子显示了这种技术的局限性。我相信这比我之前给出的答案可靠得多，但让我知道它是如何为你工作的。

// utility function - returns the key of the array minimum
function array_min_key($arr)
{
    $min_key = null;
    $min = PHP_INT_MAX;
    foreach($arr as $k => $v) {
        if ($v < $min) {
            $min = $v;
            $min_key = $k;
        }
    }
    return $min_key;
}

// Calculate the edit distance between two strings
function edit_distance($string1, $string2)
{
    $m = strlen($string1);
    $n = strlen($string2);
    $d = array();

    // the distance from '' to substr(string,$i)
    for($i=0;$i<=$m;$i++) $d[$i][0] = $i;
    for($i=0;$i<=$n;$i++) $d[0][$i] = $i;

    // fill-in the edit distance matrix
    for($j=1; $j<=$n; $j++)
    {
        for($i=1; $i<=$m; $i++)
        {
            // Using, for example, the levenshtein distance as edit distance
            list($p_i,$p_j,$cost) = levenshtein_weighting($i,$j,$d,$string1,$string2);
            $d[$i][$j] = $d[$p_i][$p_j]+$cost;
        }
    }

    return $d[$m][$n];
}

// Helper function for edit_distance()
function levenshtein_weighting($i,$j,$d,$string1,$string2)
{
    // if the two letters are equal, cost is 0
    if($string1[$i-1] === $string2[$j-1]) {
        return array($i-1,$j-1,0);
    }

    // cost we assign each operation
    $cost['delete'] = 1;
    $cost['insert'] = 1;
    $cost['substitute'] = 1;

    // cost of operation + cost to get to the substring we perform it on
    $total_cost['delete'] = $d[$i-1][$j] + $cost['delete'];
    $total_cost['insert'] = $d[$i][$j-1] + $cost['insert'];
    $total_cost['substitute'] = $d[$i-1][$j-1] + $cost['substitute'];

    // return the parent array keys of $d and the operation's cost
    $min_key = array_min_key($total_cost);
    if ($min_key == 'delete') {
        return array($i-1,$j,$cost['delete']);
    } elseif($min_key == 'insert') {
        return array($i,$j-1,$cost['insert']);
    } else {
        return array($i-1,$j-1,$cost['substitute']);
    }
}

// attempt to find the substring of $haystack most closely matching $needle
function shortest_edit_substring($needle, $haystack)
{
    // initialize edit distance matrix

    }
    // instead of strlen, we initialize the top row to all 0's
    for($i=0;$i<=$n;$i++) {
        $d[0][$i] = 0;
        $backtrace[0][$i] = null;
    }

    // same as the edit_distance calculation, but keep track of how we got there
    for($j=1; $j<=$n; $j++)
    {
        for($i=1; $i<=$m; $i++)
        {
            list($p_i,$p_j,$cost) = levenshtein_weighting($i,$j,$d,$needle,$haystack);

            $backtrace[$i][$j] = array($p_i,$p_j);
        }
    }

    // now find the minimum at the bottom row

    // and take a substring based on those results
