What Is Fuzzy Matching?
This is a continuation of the previous blog post on fuzzy search. We use fuzzy matching algorithms in fuzzy search to come up with the search results. The strength of a fuzzy search algorithm heavily depends on the strength of the fuzzy matching algorithm that is being used. The concept of matching refers to an … Continue reading What Is Fuzzy Matching?
What Is Fuzzy Search?
The word "fuzzy" means something that is indistinct or vague, something that cannot be explained precisely. We all know what "search" means. That should give you a hint of what this blog post is about. Whenever you type something into the Google search engine, you will see that it always returns good results, even when … Continue reading What Is Fuzzy Search?
Quantum Computing And Machine Learning
Quantum Computing refers to the use of quantum mechanical phenomena to make computations. This field is making big strides in the last decade because it can actually help us solve some of the most challenging problems in the realm of computer science, particularly in machine learning and security. Machine learning is all about building better … Continue reading Quantum Computing And Machine Learning

Robot Vs Turing
In one of my previous blog posts, we discussed about measuring computer's intelligence and how we can use the Turing test for it. After Turing proposed that test, a lot of people realized its importance and started working on it. People really wanted to believe that machines are indeed capable of thinking. We need a … Continue reading Robot Vs Turing
The Genesis Of Genetic Algorithms
Let's say you have a function and you want to optimize it. In real life, this function can take many forms like choosing the right set of features for your car while keep the price low, picking the best possible apartment considering all the different factors like location, rent, closeness to stores etc, making a … Continue reading The Genesis Of Genetic Algorithms
