neural network self improve match between strings in python

One approach to improve the match between strings using neural networks is to use Siamese Networks. Siamese Networks are a special type of neural network architecture that allows us to compare two different inputs and check if they are similar or not.

To implement Siamese Networks for string matching, we can feed two strings to the network and the network will output a similarity score between 0 and 1. The closer the score is to 1, the more similar the two strings are.

Here is a sample code to implement a simple Siamese Network for string matching in Python using Keras:


main.py
from keras.models import Model
from keras.layers import Input, LSTM, Dense, Lambda
from keras import backend as K

# Define the input shape
input_shape = (max_len,)

# Define the LSTM layer
lstm = LSTM(128)

# Define the left input and right input
left_input = Input(input_shape)
right_input = Input(input_shape)

# Encode both inputs using the same LSTM layer
encoded_left = lstm(left_input)
encoded_right = lstm(right_input)

# Define the cosine similarity function
def cosine_similarity(x, y):
   dot_product = K.sum(x * y, axis=1)
   magnitude_x = K.sqrt(K.sum(K.square(x), axis=1))
   magnitude_y = K.sqrt(K.sum(K.square(y), axis=1))
   cosine_similarity = dot_product / (magnitude_x * magnitude_y)
   return cosine_similarity

# Use a lambda layer to compute the cosine similarity between the encoded inputs
cosine_similarity_layer = Lambda(lambda x: cosine_similarity(x[0], x[1]))([encoded_left, encoded_right])

# Define the model
model = Model(inputs=[left_input, right_input], outputs=cosine_similarity_layer)
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])

# Train the model
model.fit([X_train_left, X_train_right], y_train, validation_data=([X_val_left, X_val_right], y_val), epochs=10, batch_size=256)
1250 chars
36 lines

In the above code, max_len is the maximum length of the input strings, X_train_left and X_train_right are the left and right input strings for the training data, y_train is the binary label indicating whether the strings are similar or not, and X_val_left, X_val_right, and y_val are the validation data.

This is just a simple example and you can modify the architecture and parameters to fit your specific use case.
