If you're new to the idea of locality sensitive hashes and want to learn about them, or would like to use one on on massive sparse data and a key-value store, I wrote up a post that walks through all the families of minhashing algorithms starting from the beginning (and culminates in our work extending them to probability distributions.) https://moultano.wordpress.com/2018/11/08/minhashing-3kbzhsxyg4467-6/ https://moultano.wordpress.com/2018/11/08/minhashing-3kbzhsx... This is my favorite algorithm. It's so stupid simple, just a handful of lines of code, and makes intractable problems tractable.
