How to replace apply_formats in Python 3.0

I am trying to spot the differences between one sentence and another one in my dataset. I am using the following code:

import pandas as pd     data = ['An empty world',          'So the word is',          'So word is',          'No word is']    df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['phrase'])    bold = lambda x: f'<b>{x}</b>'    def highlight_shared(string1, string2, format_func):      shared_toks = set(string1.split(' ')) & set(string2.split(' '))      return ' '.join([format_func(tok) if tok in shared_toks else tok for tok in string1.split(' ') ])    highlight_shared('the cat sat on the mat', 'the cat is fat', bold)    df['previous_phrase'] = df.phrase.shift(1, fill_value='')    df['tokens_shared_with_previous'] = df.apply(lambda x: apply_formats(x.phrase, x.previous_phrase), axis=1)    from IPython.core.display import HTML    HTML(df.loc[:, ['phrase', 'tokens_shared_with_previous']].to_html(escape=False))  

to get these results by checking the similarity using fuzzywuzzy or cosine distance in order to get information about the word which changes position from one to another. For example, if I consider this dataset:

SEQ  An empty world  So the word is  So word is  No word is  

the similarity between the first row and the second one is 0. There is similarity between row 2 and 3. They present almost the same words and the same position. I would like to visualize this change (missing word) if possible.

I am getting an error because of apply_formats (NameError: name 'apply_formats' is not defined). Do you know how I can replace it?
