Two Errors in Infographic for jaccard function #1101

Open keksundso opened 3 months ago

keksundso commented 3 months ago

The infographic defines the Jaccard(A,B) = length(Intersion)/[ length(Union) - length(Intersection) ] this differs to the standard defintion of the jaccard index with Jaccard(A,B) = length(Intersection)/ length(Union)

  1. The definition of Union is not consistent with how it is used in the text, by the tool itself (when it reports the results in the command line) and other sources, where it already represents: length(Total) - length(Intersection)
  2. Intersection is written as Intersion
