Multi-Stage String Matcher and Aligner
This is a program that takes two strings of space separated words as
input and aligns matching words between the two strings. Alignment is
done over several stages, where each stage uses different criteria to
find candidate matching tokens from the two strings to
align. Currently supported criteria are "exact match", "stemmed match"
(using either Porter stemmer or WordNet) and "synonymy match" (using
WordNet). Future criteria will include "relatedness match". For more
information see the Readme's of various versions.

We are currently in the process of evaluting the matching algorithm
itself. Click here for details of such
evaluations.

well as Jason Rennie's Perl-WordNet
