Abstract:
1. A system to generate an index for a closest match search, the system comprising: a processor; a memory in data communication with the processor for storing information; a corpus processing module executable by the processor that is operable to access a corpus of information that includes a plurality of member information, the plurality of member information includes first member information that describes a first member and other member information that describes other members; and an index generating module executable by the processor that is operable to generate a plurality of candidate signatures based on the corpus of information, the plurality of candidate signatures is respectively associated with a plurality of candidate signature scores, the index generator module to remove candidate signatures from the plurality of candidate signatures to generate a filtered plurality of candidate signatures, the index generator module to remove the candidate signatures based on an identification of candidate signature scores that corresponds to candidate signatures that are below a predetermined threshold, the candidate signature scores including a first candidate signature score, the first candidate signature score representing a percentage of coverage of the first signature over the first member information, the index generating module to identify a plurality of index signatures based on the filtered plurality of candidate signatures, the plurality of index signatures include a first plurality of index signatures, the first plurality of index signatures to signify the first member and not any one of the other members, the index generating module to store the first plurality of index signatures in an index, the storage of the first plurality of index signatures to enable a closest match of input information to at least one of the first plurality of index signatures to identify a closest match of the input information to the first member over the other members.
