:param Dict{layername: Layer} inputLayerDict: Contains the associated Layer and Clusters objects. The dictonary KEY is layername, the Value is a Layer Object. The Layer object has an attribute cluster_Dict which stores the clusters in the Layer.
:param Dict{layername: LayerC} inputLayerDict: Contains the associated Layer and Clusters objects. The dictonary KEY is layername, the Value is a LayerC Object. The LayerC object has an attribute cluster_Dict which stores the clusters in the LayerC.
:returns: Dict{tuple(cluster_label1, cluster_label2) : Dict{layername, similarityValue}}. Returns a Dictionary with a tuple of 2 clusters as KEY, and a Dictionary with the computed similarity of the clusters in regard to each layer as VALUE
