Fuzzy Match: Approximate Text Similarity Evaluation
Compares texts for similarity using fuzzy matching to detect approximate matches, accounting for minor wording, spelling, or formatting differences.
result = evaluator.evaluate(
eval_templates="fuzzy_match",
inputs={
"expected": "The Eiffel Tower is a famous landmark in Paris, built in 1889 for the World's Fair. It stands 324 meters tall.",
"output": "The Eiffel Tower, located in Paris, was built in 1889 and is 324 meters high."
},
model_name="turing_flash"
)
print(result.eval_results[0].output)
print(result.eval_results[0].reason)import { Evaluator, Templates } from "@future-agi/ai-evaluation";
const evaluator = new Evaluator();
const result = await evaluator.evaluate(
"fuzzy_match",
{
expected: "The Eiffel Tower is a famous landmark in Paris, built in 1889 for the World's Fair. It stands 324 meters tall.",
output: "The Eiffel Tower, located in Paris, was built in 1889 and is 324 meters high."
},
{
modelName: "turing_flash",
}
);
console.log(result); | Input | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Required Input | Type | Description | |
expected | string | The expected content for comparison against the model generated output | |
output | string | The output generated by the model to be evaluated for fuzzy match |
| Output | ||
|---|---|---|
| Field | Description | |
| Result | Returns a score, where higher values indicate better fuzzy match | |
| Reason | Provides a detailed explanation of the fuzzy match assessment |
What to Do When Fuzzy Match Score is Low
- Ensure that both input texts are properly formatted and contain meaningful content
- This evaluation works best with texts that convey similar information but might have different wording
- For very short texts (1-2 words), results may be less reliable
- If you need more precise matching, consider using Levenshtein Similarity instead
Comparing Fuzzy Match with Similar Evals
- Levenshtein Similarity: Fuzzy Match uses approximate text matching, while Levenshtein Similarity provides a stricter character-by-character comparison.
- Embedding Similarity: Fuzzy Match compares surface-level text, while Embedding Similarity compares semantic meaning.
- Semantic List Contains: Fuzzy Match evaluates overall text similarity, while Semantic List Contains checks if specific semantic concepts are present.
- ROUGE Score: Fuzzy Match uses approximate matching, while ROUGE Score evaluates based on n-gram overlap, especially useful for summarization.
