Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by a computer system comprising at least one processor, a set of data points and similarity values according to a pairwise similarity function, wherein the pairwise similarity function provides similarity values representative of a similarity between each data point and each other data point of the set of data points, wherein the similarity values are determined and the similarity function is estimated using one or more machine learning process; clustering, by the computer system, the set of data points into at least one cluster based on the similarity values, the at least one cluster comprising one or more data points of the set of data points; consolidating, by the computer system, data stored in the one or more data points associated with the at least one cluster to create a consolidated data point, wherein consolidating data stored in the one or more data points associated with the at least one cluster comprises: using the consolidated data point when providing results responsive to an associated search query to a user.
