Abstract: A system and a method for determining a similarity between a first string and a second string. A sequence of edit operations are performed on the first string in order to obtain the second string may be determined. The edit operation is of a first type or a second type. The first type operation comprises a character insertion operation or character removal operation. The second type operation comprises a character maintenance operation. The first type edit operation is associated with an operation score indicative of a cost for applying the edit operation. The first type edit operation is associated with a switching score indicative whether it is immediately followed by a second type edit operation. The switching scores and/or operation scores associated with the sequence of edit operations are combined in order to obtain a combined score that is indicative of the similarity level between the first and second strings.
