Overview of the similarity batch

The similarity batch allows you to perform similarity measurements on a large (even huge) data set. It has four modes:


·     Score by pairs select two ordered set A, B, of sound files, and compare A1 against B1, A2 against B2 and so forth. The number of files in A and B must be the same.

·     M x N comparisons performs all possible comparisons between the sets A and B. The two sets do not have to be of equal length.

·     Target clusters This mode reads the syllable table, find sound of specific type and compare them to a reference sound. For example, it can be used to compare sounds that belong to one cluster to a target sound (e.g., model song syllable). SA+ reads the table, detect a syllable, find the file that contains it. Outline only this syllable and compare it to a target syllable.

·     Table1 x Table2 compares all the syllables in one table to all the syllables in the other table. SA+ reads the tables, find the file that contains each syllable, and score similarity for all pairs of syllables across the two tables. For example, if table 1 contains several calls of one animal, and table 2 contains several calls from another animals, this mode will compare calls across the two animals.
