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

与@larsman相同，但有一些预处理

import nltk, string
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer

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]

'''remove punctuation, lowercase, stem'''
def normalize(text):
    return stem_tokens(nltk.word_tokenize(text.lower().translate(remove_punctuation_map)))

vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(tokenizer=normalize, stop_words='english')

def cosine_sim(text1, text2):
    tfidf = vectorizer.fit_transform([text1, text2])
    return ((tfidf * tfidf.T).A)[0,1]


print cosine_sim('a little bird', 'a little bird')
print cosine_sim('a little bird', 'a little bird chirps')
print cosine_sim('a little bird', 'a big dog barks')

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"))

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)}")

压缩相似性——利用压缩算法的模式识别 欧几里得相似性-把文本当作多维空间中的点，并计算它们的接近度 Jaccard Similairy -文字重叠越多，文本越相似

这里有一个小应用程序让你开始…

import difflib as dl

a = file('file').read()
b = file('file1').read()

sim = dl.get_close_matches

s = 0
wa = a.split()
wb = b.split()

for i in wa:
    if sim(i, wb):
        s += 1

n = float(s) / float(len(wa))
print '%d%% similarity' % int(n * 100)

如果您对测量两段文本的语义相似性更感兴趣，我建议您看看这个gitlab项目。你可以把它作为服务器运行，也有一个预先构建的模型，你可以很容易地使用它来测量两段文本的相似性;尽管它主要用于测量两个句子的相似度，但你仍然可以在你的情况下使用它。它是用java编写的，但您可以将其作为RESTful服务运行。

另一个选择是DKPro Similarity，这是一个库，有各种算法来测量文本的相似性。然而，它也是用java编写的。

代码示例:

// this similarity measure is defined in the dkpro.similarity.algorithms.lexical-asl package
// you need to add that to your .pom to make that example work
// there are some examples that should work out of the box in dkpro.similarity.example-gpl 
TextSimilarityMeasure measure = new WordNGramJaccardMeasure(3);    // Use word trigrams

String[] tokens1 = "This is a short example text .".split(" ");   
String[] tokens2 = "A short example text could look like that .".split(" ");

double score = measure.getSimilarity(tokens1, tokens2);

System.out.println("Similarity: " + score);
