Minimum Edit Distance (MED) Calculator

Overview

The Minimum Edit Distance (MED) Calculator is a Python class designed to calculate the minimum number of single-character edits required to transform one word into another. This project implements dynamic programming techniques to efficiently compute the minimum edit distance between two words.

Features

• Minimum Edit Distance Calculation: Compute the minimum edit distance between two input words.
• Edit Path Visualization: Visualize the edit path, showing the sequence of insertions, deletions, and substitutions required to transform one word into another.
• Graphical Representation: Graphically display the shortest path from the bottom-right corner to the top-left corner of the dynamic programming matrix.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Matplotlib
• NumPy

Usage

To use the MED Calculator, simply instantiate the MED class with two input words, and then call the appropriate methods to display the results. Example usage:

word1 = 'moment'
word2 = 'government'
myOBJ = MED(word1, word2)
print("[+] Main Matrix :\n")
myOBJ.showMatrix(myOBJ.matrix)
print("\n\n[+] Path Matrix :\n")
myOBJ.showMatrix(myOBJ.path)
print("\n\n[+] Edit Path Steps :\n")
myOBJ.showEditPath()
myOBJ.showPlot()
