Systems and methods for finding project-related information by clustering applications into related concept categories

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• generate a similarity matrix defining a similarity between a plurality of computer applications according to a categorization of application programming interface (API) calls,
• the similarity matrix being generated from a term document matrix using singular value decomposition,
• the term document matrix including a first dimension of first entries corresponding to the plurality of computer applications and a second dimension of second entries corresponding to categories of the categorization,
• elements of the term document matrix having values based on a quantity of API calls in a computer application corresponding to a first entry of the first dimension, and in a category, of the categories, corresponding to a second entry of the second dimension, and
• at least one of the API calls corresponding to one of the categories,
• the similarity being based on weights for the API calls contained in the plurality of computer applications,
• a respective weight for a respective API call in a respective computer application being based on a quantity of API calls in the respective computer application and a quantity of computer applications, of the plurality of computer applications, that contain the respective API call;
• receive a selection of a first computer application of the plurality of computer applications;
• and
• provide an indication of at least one second computer application, of the plurality of computer applications, using the similarity matrix and based on the selection of the first computer application.
