Interface SimilarityHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

AutoSimilarityHandler, DefaultSimilarityHandler

public interface SimilarityHandler

code for computing the similarity between two chunks.. They should implement a caching mechanism so that hard coded similarities will nto be overwritten.

Method Summary

double	computeSimilarity(java.lang.Object one, java.lang.Object two, double maxDiff, double maxSim) compute the similarty between one and two scaled to fit maxDiff and maxSim
boolean	handles(java.lang.Object one, java.lang.Object two) can this handler compute a similarity for these two chunks
