I am combining the solutions from answers of @FredFoo and @Renaud. My solution is able to apply @Renaud's preprocessing on the text corpus of @FredFoo and then display pairwise similarities where the similarity is greater than 0. I ran this code on Windows by installing python and pip first. pip is installed as part of python but you may have to explicitly do it by re-running the installation package, choosing modify and then choosing pip. I use the command line to execute my python code saved in a file "similarity.py". I had to execute the following commands:

>set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\_location_of_python_lib_
>python -m pip install sklearn
>python -m pip install nltk
>py similarity.py

similar .py的代码如下:

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
import nltk, string
import numpy as np
nltk.download('punkt') # if necessary...

stemmer = nltk.stem.porter.PorterStemmer()
remove_punctuation_map = dict((ord(char), None) for char in string.punctuation)

def stem_tokens(tokens):
    return [stemmer.stem(item) for item in tokens]

def normalize(text):
    return stem_tokens(nltk.word_tokenize(text.lower().translate(remove_punctuation_map)))

corpus = ["I'd like an apple", 
           "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", 
           "Never compare an apple to an orange", 
           "I prefer scikit-learn to Orange", 
           "The scikit-learn docs are Orange and Blue"]  

vect = TfidfVectorizer(tokenizer=normalize, stop_words='english')
tfidf = vect.fit_transform(corpus)   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
pairwise_similarity = tfidf * tfidf.T

#view the pairwise similarities 
print(pairwise_similarity)

#check how a string is normalized
print(normalize("The scikit-learn docs are Orange and Blue"))

Generally a cosine similarity between two documents is used as a similarity measure of documents. In Java, you can use Lucene (if your collection is pretty large) or LingPipe to do this. The basic concept would be to count the terms in every document and calculate the dot product of the term vectors. The libraries do provide several improvements over this general approach, e.g. using inverse document frequencies and calculating tf-idf vectors. If you are looking to do something copmlex, LingPipe also provides methods to calculate LSA similarity between documents which gives better results than cosine similarity. For Python, you can use NLTK.

为了用更少的数据集找到句子的相似性，并获得更高的精度，你可以使用下面的python包，它使用预训练的BERT模型，

pip install similar-sentences

这是一个老问题了，但我发现斯派西可以很容易地解决这个问题。读取文档后，可以使用简单的api相似性来查找文档向量之间的余弦相似性。

首先安装包并下载模型:

pip install spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

然后用like so:

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm')
doc1 = nlp(u'Hello hi there!')
doc2 = nlp(u'Hello hi there!')
doc3 = nlp(u'Hey whatsup?')

print (doc1.similarity(doc2)) # 0.999999954642
print (doc2.similarity(doc3)) # 0.699032527716
print (doc1.similarity(doc3)) # 0.699032527716

我们可以使用句子转换来完成这个任务 链接

下面是一个来自sbert的简单示例:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer, util
model = SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
# Two lists of sentences
sentences1 = ['The cat sits outside']
sentences2 = ['The dog plays in the garden']
#Compute embedding for both lists
embeddings1 = model.encode(sentences1, convert_to_tensor=True)
embeddings2 = model.encode(sentences2, convert_to_tensor=True)
#Compute cosine-similarities
cosine_scores = util.cos_sim(embeddings1, embeddings2)
#Output the pairs with their score
for i in range(len(sentences1)):
   print("{} \t\t {} \t\t Score: {:.4f}".format(sentences1[i], 
         sentences2[i], cosine_scores[i][i]))

这里是Simphile NLP文本相似性Python包的创建者。Simphile包含几种文本相似度方法，它们与语言无关，并且比语言嵌入占用的cpu更少。

安装:

pip install simphile

选择你最喜欢的方法。这个例子显示了三点:

from simphile import jaccard_similarity, euclidian_similarity, compression_similarity

text_a = "I love dogs"
text_b = "I love cats"

print(f"Jaccard Similarity: {jaccard_similarity(text_a, text_b)}")
print(f"Euclidian Similarity: {euclidian_similarity(text_a, text_b)}")
print(f"Compression Similarity: {compression_similarity(text_a, text_b)}")
