The problem of fuzzy duplicate detection of large texts

Abstract

In the paper, considered the problem of fuzzy duplicate detection. There are given the basic approaches to detection of text duplicates–distance between strings, fuzzy search algorithms without indexing data, fuzzy search algorithms with indexing data. Thereview of existing methods for the fuzzy duplicate detection is given. The algorithm of fuzzy duplicate detection is present. The algorithm of fuzzy duplicate texts detection was implemented in the system AVTOR.NET. The paper presents the results of testing of the system.The use of filtering text, stemming and character replacement, allow the algorithm to found duplicates even in minor modified texts.
