Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on nuget packages or Linq queries I could use to accomplish a fuzzy equation algorithm.
In my case, are comparing company names to find a match, but because of human entry, the names are inconsistent. For example, you could have "Contoso," "Contoso LLC," and "Contoso llc." And sometimes we have some spelling errors because they're typed by someone listening over the phone. So "Cantoso" could be a possibility, for instance.
Because we use this comparison for verification purposes, we need it to be able to be tuned to eliminate false positives. AI is also a potential candidate but that sounds like a huge can of worms I don't want to get into.
I don't mind rolling my own but ideally I would like to use something actively maintained since this is not an area of expertise.
