Claim Text:
1. A method for privacy protected clustering of interest profiles of end users, the method comprising: generating, by a user device, at least one interest profile segment based on an interest profile of an end user; obtaining, by the user device, semantic terms corresponding to the at least one interest profile segment based on interaction with a semantic metadata database communicatively coupled to a user device of the end user, wherein the semantic terms are obtained from amongst one or more semantic terms provided in the semantic metadata database; transforming, by the user device, each of the at least one interest profile segment into at least one semantic representation based on the semantic terms; and assigning, by the user device, a cluster identifier to each of the at least one interest profile segment based on the at least one semantic representation, wherein the cluster identifier is generated using locality sensitive hashing technique.
