1 Assignment problem (50 pts)

The assignment aims at investigating MinHash and Locality-sensitive Hashing (LSH)

framework on real-world data sets. In class, we have seen how to construct signature

matrices using random permutations. However, in practice, random permutation on

very large matrix is prohibitive. Section 3.3.5 of your textbook (Chapter 3, Mining of

Massive Datasets1 by J. Leskovec, A. Rajaraman, J. Ullman) introduces a simple but

fast method to “simulate” this randomness using different hash functions. We encourage

you to read through that section before attempting the assignment.

In the assignment, you write a program2

to compute all pairs similarity on the “bag

of words” data set from the UCI Repository3 using the Jaccard similarity. This problem

is the core component for detecting plagiarism and finding similar documents in

information retrieval.

The bag of words data set contains 5 text datasets which share the same pre-processing

procedure. That is, after tokenization and removal of stopwords, the vocabulary of

unique words was truncated by only keeping important words that occurred more than 10

times for large data sets. For small data sets, there was not truncation.

It has the format: docID wordID count, where docID is the document ID, wordID

is the word ID in the vocabulary, and count is the word frequency. Since the Jaccard

similarity does not take into account the word frequency, we simply ignore this information

in the assignment. This means that we consider count = 1 for each pair (docID,

wordID). We consider a document as a set and each word as a set element, and make

use the Jaccard similarity.

We only make use the KOS blog entries data set for this assignment since we still need

to run bruteforce algorithm to measure the accuracy of MinHash and LSH. However,

students are encouraged to try on larger data sets, such as NYTimes news article and

PubMed abstracts. Note that the data set is very sparse, so you might think of the

relevant data structures for fast processing.

The assignment tasks and its point are as follows.

1. Execute bruteforce computation (10 pts): Compute all pairs similarity with

Jaccard and save the result into file (since you have to use the bruteforce result

for the next tasks). You need to report:

(a) The running time of your bruteforce algorithm (5 pts).

2no restriction on programming languages used but preferred Python.

(b) The average Jaccard similarity of all pairs except identical pairs i.e.

J(di

, dj ) where i 6= j (5 pts).

2. Compute the MinHash signatures for all documents (10 pts): Compute

the MinHash signatures (number of hash functions d = 10) for all documents. You

need to report:

(a) The running time of this step (10 pts).

3. Measure the accuracy of MinHash estimators (10 pts): Compute all pairs

similarity estimators based on MinHash. Repeat the procedure 2) and 3) with

the number of hash functions d ranging from {10, 20, . . . , 100} and plot the mean

absolute error (MAE) of MinHash estimators on different values of d.

MAE =

Pn

i,j=1,i6=j

|J(di

, dj ) ? J?(di

, dj )|/(n

2 ? n) where J(di

, dj ) is the actual Jaccard

similarity between di and dj and J?(di

, dj ) is their MinHash-based estimator.

You need to report:

(a) The running time of estimating all pairs similarity based on MinHash

with different values of d (5 pts).

(b) The figure of MAEs with different values of d on x-axis and MAE

values on y-axis (5 pts).

4. Exploit LSH (20 pts): Implement LSH framework to solve the subproblem:

“Finding all pairs similar documents with Jaccard ≥ 0.6”. In particular, using

d = 100 hash functions, you need to explain:

(a) How to tune the parameter b (number of bands) and r (number of

rows in one band) so that we achieve the false negatives of 60%-

similar pairs at most 10% (5 pts).

(b) The space usage affected by these parameters (5 pts).

Given your chosen setting, from your experiment, you need to report

(a) The false candidate ratio (5 pts).

the number of candidate pairs with exact Jaccard < 0.6

number of candidate pairs

(b) The probability that a dissimilar pair with Jaccard ≤ 0.3 is a candidate

pair (5 pts).

the number of candidate pairs with exact Jaccard ≤ 0.3

number of pairs with exact Jaccard ≤ 0.3
