Methods and Systems for Identifying a Level of Similarity Between a Plurality of Data Representations

A method for identifying a level of similarity between binary vectors includes storing, by a processor on a computing device, in each of a plurality of memory cells on the computing device, one of a plurality of binary vectors, each of the plurality of memory cells including a bitwise comparison circuit. The processor provides, to each of the plurality of memory cells, a received binary vector. Each of the bitwise comparison circuits determines a level of overlap between the received binary vector and the binary vector stored in the memory cell associated with the bitwise comparison circuit. Each of the comparison circuits that determines that the level of overlap satisfies a threshold provides, to the processor, an identification of the stored binary vector with the satisfactory level of overlap. The processor provides an identification of each stored binary vector satisfying the threshold.
