Abstract:
A method of generating a graph taxonomy of information which is represented by a plurality of vectors, the graph taxonomy including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, said method comprising the steps of:(a) receiving the information represented by the plurality of vectors in the form of a plurality of data objects; (b) generating the plurality of nodes, each node of the plurality of nodes associated with ones of the plurality of vectors; (c) establishing a tree hierarchy in a data memory based on the plurality of nodes; (d) calculating a plurality of distances between ones of the plurality of nodes; and (e) connecting ones of the plurality of nodes with other ones of the plurality of nodes by ones of the plurality of edges based on the plurality of distances to obtain the graph taxonomy, wherein the plurality of distances are respectively computed using the plurality of vectors associated with the plurality of nodes.
