Good article. I like that it was more approachable than a journal paper -- as a developer, I am interested in these kind of algorithms but sometimes I don't even know where to begin searching. And as someone without a math PhD, I appreciate the simplifications and real-world applications.
I don't know what you have planned for the next article in the series, but I would recommend adding code snippets in a language of your choice. I would have liked to see your example implemented in python or ruby to make it more concrete.
- sadiq 16y agoThanks. I'm planning to discuss a couple of different techniques (using shingling to actually create the set elements from items is the next one) and then demonstrate them on a large dataset. I'll start including some Python in the follow up ones.
