A Comparison of String Similarity Measures for Toponym Matching

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Abstract The diversity of ways in which toponyms are specified often results in mismatches between queries and the place names contained in gazetteers. Search terms that include unofficial variants of official place names, unanticipated transliterations, and typos are frequently similar but not identical to the place names contained in the gazetteer. String similarity measures can mitigate this problem, but given their task-dependent performance, the optimal choice of measure is unclear. We constructed a task in which place names had to be matched to variants of those names listed in the GEOnet Names Server, comparing 21 different measures on datasets containing romanized toponyms from 11 different countries. Best-performing measures varied widely across datasets, but were highly consistent within-country and within-language. We discuss which measures worked best for particular languages and provide recommendations for selecting appropriate string similarity measures.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
