Abstract

One embodiment relates to an apparatus configured to efficiently group a set of strings into clusters of related strings. Data storage is configured to store computer-readable code and data, and a processor is configured to access the data storage and to execute said computer-readable code. Computer-readable code is configured to receive the set of strings, determine an evaluation function between pairs of strings in said set, and group the strings into clusters, wherein determining the evaluation function between pairs of strings utilizes hash tables. Another embodiment relates to a computer-implemented method of efficiently grouping a set of strings into clusters of related strings based on rules of inference. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.
