These common algorithms are unsuitable for situations where one is looking to compare string similarity at the token level, where the order of tokens is less important. Rather than naively comparing tokens (where misspellings can be detrimental if token comparison is binary), the proposed substring approach allows for a more continous measure of similarity between strings at the token level. This is also a very lightweight approach relative to mechanisms employing semantic analysis. -Below are some example results (lower is better.) +Below are some example results (lower score is better.) ```
