R: calculation distance matrix between two lists of strings


Please consider the reprex at the end of the post. I have two lists of dataframes. Each dataframe has a $keyword column, which is a vector of text. I am looking for a computationally efficient way to get a distance matrix between the text in the keyword column of list_v1 and list_v2. The end result should be either a 5 by 10 or a 10 by 5 matrix or dataframe/tibble. Any measure in the stringdist package (for instance the Levenshtein) would do for an example. On top of that, I would like to calculate the jaccard index (see formula in the reprex) again between the text in the keyword column of list_v1 and list_v2. Any suggestion is appreciated.

jaccard <- function(a, b) {
    intersection = length(intersect(a, b))
    union = length(a) + length(b) - intersection
    return (intersection/union)
}

Solution

  • You can try outer along with Vectorize

    outer(
        list_v1,
        list_v2,
        Vectorize(\(x, y) jaccard(x$keyword, y$keyword))
    )
    

    which gives
