Bit string nearest neighbour searching
问题 I have hundreds of thousands of sparse bit strings of length 32 bits. I'd like to do a nearest neighbour search on them and look-up performance is critical. I've been reading up on various algorithms but they seem to target text strings rather than binary strings. I think either locally sensitive hashing or spectral hashing seem good candidates or I could look into compression. Will any of these work well for my bit string problem ? Any direction or guidance would be greatly appreciated. 回答1:
