About arnoldoMuller

I am a data scientist / entrepeneur. My startup provides a fast similarity search engine available: http://simmachines.com

Similarity search is NoSQL 2.0, a key value storage where key is allowed to have mismatches and this similarity is defined with a distance function. Therefore you can store and retrieve audio, video and many other things.
