In reply to Serge. While I agree with you, it is not rare that we have to map redirects manually. Because the migration was not properly executed, because you can't find a pattern etc... It should be done as you explained, but it is often, unfortunately, not the case. Especially for smaller clients.

tbh I don’t understand why SEO should make a redirect map for the migration. It is much easier (and should) be done on the developers’ side.
Especially when changes are only the domain name. Usually in this case you have to pay attention to links in the content zone, some hardcoded stuff, etc.

In reply to Antonio. Thanks, Antonio! AFAIK, Polyfuzz is looking at semantic proximity and can't be used for meanings. I honestly have no idea how to achieve that :/

Nice scripts, Antoine; and thanks for sharing!!

I have been playing with Polyfuzz models and I obtain very good results (I mean semantic ones, and not purely ortographical) with Gensim’s one.

It is able to find that things like ‘boy’ and ‘girl’ are very similar, or ‘boy’ and ‘boys’.
