What is the name of this similarity distance metric? def distance_metric(seed, base):
    num = 0.0
    den = 0.0
    num = sum(numpy.minimum(seed,base))
    den = sum(numpy.maximum(seed,base))
    dist = round(1.0 - 1.0*num/den,4)
    return dist


The metric is used to gauge similarity in the context of locality sensitive hashing. 

Items within a bucket are kept if their distance is &lt; 0.16.
This is the weighted Jaccard Index.

This is different from the regular Jaccard Index (Similarity).
