Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
generating, from a transaction history data set for a user of a software application, a grouped data set including transactions grouped by counterparty in the transaction history data set;
generating, from the grouped data set, a feature vector representing the user of the software application and including a plurality of features describing relationships between the user and a plurality of counterparties in the transaction history data set;
generating a first decision tree for the user of the software application based on the feature vector and a plurality of second decision trees for other users of the software application, wherein the first decision tree and the plurality of second decision trees comprise trees having a plurality of paths terminating in a similar or different classification, and wherein the plurality of paths distinguishes a user associated with a decision tree with other users of the software application;
for each respective decision tree of the plurality of second decision trees for other users of the software application:
calculating a distance metric between the first decision tree to the respective decision tree, and
identifying a user associated with the respective decision tree as a similar user based on the calculated distance metric and a threshold distance metric; and

outputting, to the user of the software application, information identifying similar users from the other users of the software application.
