Finding Similar Items

Tags:

**Jaccard similarity**: similarity of sets, based on the relative size of their intersection -> **finding textually similar documents in a large corpus, near duplicates**. [Collaborative Filtering](/tag/collaborative_filtering) as a Similar-Sets Problem (cf. online purchases, movie ratings)

**Shingling** turns the problem of textual similarity of documents into a pb of similarity of sets

k-shingle: substring of length k found within a document. k: 5 for emails. Hashing shingles. Shingles built from words (stop word + 2 following words)

Similarity-Preserving Summaries of Sets: shingles sets are large -> compress large sets into small representations (“signatures”) that preserve similarity: **[Minhashing](/tag/minhash)** - related to Jaccard similarity (good explanation in [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinHash))

It still may be impossible to find the pairs of docs with greatest similarity efficiently -> **[Locality-Sensitive Hashing](/tag/locality_sensitive_hashing)** for Documents

Distance measures

Theory of Locality-Sensitive Functions

LSH famiies for other distance measures

Applications of Locality-Sensitive Hashing:

- entity resolution
- matching fingerprints
- matching newpapers articles

Methods for High Degrees of Similarity: LSH-based methods most effective when the degree of similarity we
accept is relatively low. When we want to find sets that are almost identical, other methods can be faster.
