Measure patch similarity and sort by it #49

Open christofmuc opened 3 years ago

christofmuc commented 3 years ago

If only a single bit is changed, two patches no longer have the same fingerprint and are considered different.

This is not really helpful if you have just created a variant of a patch, and might want to compare multiple variants.

I could define a metric that allows for patch similarity search - not on perception (different story), but on the bitvector. Could use edit distance or something similar.

How to implement this in the SQL database?

Meta data? With Sister, sibling, parent relationship? Cos with that you'd have horizontal and vertical relationships

Normally all you have a distance measure, like "edit distance" - 4 parameters are different between these two. The real order in which those were created will not be possible to extract, but you could select a patch and run a "nearest neighbour" search that shows patches close by.
