Publication number: 20180336311Abstract: In a method of compressing a similarity network, the similarity network has nodes with a plurality of repetitions of characters sequences and a plurality of edges. Each edge connects a pair of the nodes based on a first similarity threshold. The method includes clustering of the nodes according to a second similarity threshold, where the second similarity threshold is higher than the first similarity threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2016Publication date: November 22, 2018Applicant: OFEK-ESHKOLOT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT LTDInventor: Zakharia FRENKEL
