SentenceMatcher

A simple yet useful module that allows you to match a sentence against a list of sentences and return the closest match

Sample Code:

from SentenceMatcher import SentenceMatch

list_of_sentences = ["Hey there!", "How're you?", "How's your day going?", "So tell me about yourself please!"]

sentence = "Please tell me about you."



output, accr = SentenceMatch(sentence, list_of_sentences)

print("Closest Match:", sentence)

print("Accuracy:", accr)

Output:

Closest Match: So tell me about yourself please!

Accuracy: 80.0

Explanation

The module contains only one function: SentenceMatch(to_be_matched, list_to_match_against)

The first parameter is for the sentence that you want to match against a list of sentences, and the second parameter is for that list of sentences. The function returns 2 values, the output followed by the accuracy of the output.

Behind the scenes, the function matches the sentence against every sentence in the list of sentences and calculates a percentage (accuracy) value for each. It then returns the sentence with the highest accuracy and returns both the sentence and that accuracy.

HOWEVER:

Common symbols aren't taken into account, and the case of the letters isn't taken into account as well. It's better to avoid symbols anyways.
