Question

I am having two lists with usernames and I want to compute the Jaccard similarity. I want to know whether it is possible?

Answer 1

Do check the below code for the reference regarding Jaccard  similarity:

def jaccard_similarity(list1, list2):

    intersection = len(list(set(list1).intersection(list2)))

    union = (len(list1) + len(list2)) - intersection

    return float(intersection) / union
