Algorithms behind fuzzyname

Hi, thanks for an interesting library!
Where can I read about algorithms under the hood?
Thanks!

Hi @OleksiyAnokhin, the comparison between two names is done in this function:
https://github.com/yymao/fuzzyname/blob/v0.2.1/fuzzyname/core.py#L63

The function will attempt a few ways to compare the two names. When the function finds mismatch, it returns True. Generally, it starts with last name (matched_back), which require fully matches. Then it turns to the first and middle names, matched_front and take care of initials and nicknames.

@yymao , thanks. So True means a mismatch. I thought it was the opposite. Very helpful, thanks!
