get distance of Chinese phrases of the different length

[phliulei]

Can this algorithm combine with other, such as Levenshtein Distance, to get get distance of Chinese phrases of the different length?

You can use this algorithm together with DTW

@marina-danilevsky , again this is another algorithmic question, and maybe you have some insights.

Sure, you can use this in aggregate - the input is pairwise, so certainly you can use it on different length phrases, you'll just need to decide how to resolve pairing up input with mismatched lengths. Basically, each pairwise calculation is independent, and you need to choose the method of aggregation. If you are using it as part of a Levenshtein distance approach, for example, when you make substitutions to turn one phrase into another, you could calculate the cost of each substitution using this metric.
