Abstract
In a method of improving querying, a plurality of items of information are transformed into a plurality of vectors, where each item of information of the plurality of items of information is mapped to a respective vector of said plurality of vectors. A plurality of vectors is associated with a subset of nodes selected from a plurality of nodes. Each vector associated with a respective node of said plurality of nodes is based on a similarity between each vector of said plurality of vectors.
Claims26
A method of improving querying, said method comprising:
- transforming a plurality of items of information into a plurality of vectors, each item of information of said plurality of items of information being mapped to a respective vector of said plurality of vectors;
- and
- associating said plurality of vectors to a subset of nodes selected from a plurality of nodes, each vector associated with a respective node of said plurality of nodes based on a similarity between each vector of said plurality of vectors.
An apparatus for of improving querying, said apparatus comprising:
- means for transforming a plurality of items of information into a plurality of vectors, each item of information of said plurality of items of information being mapped to a respective vector of said plurality of vectors;
- and
- means for associating said plurality of vectors to a subset of nodes selected from a plurality of nodes, each vector associated with a respective node of said plurality of nodes based on a similarity between each vector of said plurality of vectors.
A system for querying, said system comprising:
- a plurality of peers forming a peer-to-peer network;
- an auxiliary overlay network configured to be implemented by a subset of peers of said plurality of peers;
- and
- a peer search module configured to be executed by each peer of said subset of peers and configured to implement said auxiliary overlay network, wherein said peer search module is further configured to store key pairs configured to comprise of a vector and a pointer to a location of information.
