For an algorithms class, I am doing a project which investigates any particular algorithm. I chose to investigate BK Trees (Burkhard-Keller Trees). A BK Tree is associated with fuzzy string searches (e.g. spell check, word recommendations). However, it seems that BK Trees don’t perform that quickly, and could even be outdated. There aren’t a lot of good, academic sources out there. Are there any faster, more efficient algorithms out there for fuzzy string matching?
Thank you!
Here are a few common approaches
