Class IntersectionSimilarity<T>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.text.similarity.IntersectionSimilarity<T>
Type Parameters:
T - the type of the elements extracted from the character sequence
All Implemented Interfaces:
SimilarityScore<IntersectionResult>
public class IntersectionSimilarity<T> extends Object implements SimilarityScore<IntersectionResult>
Measures the intersection of two sets created from a pair of character sequences.

It is assumed that the type T correctly conforms to the requirements for storage within a Set or HashMap. Ideally the type is immutable and implements Object.equals(Object) and Object.hashCode().
