Document Similarity

Document similarity measures how closely two texts resemble each other based on their content. It is a way for computers to compare documents and determine if they are related or share common themes. For example, two articles about healthy eating would have high similarity, while one about sports and another about technology would show low similarity. This concept helps organize, search, and analyze large amounts of text by identifying related documents efficiently. Techniques like converting text into numerical data and calculating their closeness are used to assess how similar the documents are.
