Abstract

A method and data structure are provided for efficiently storing asymmetric clustering models. The models are stored by storing a first level record for a word identifier and two second level records, one for a word identifier and one for a cluster identifier. An index to the second level word record and an index to the second level cluster record are stored in the first level record. Many of the records in the data structure include both cluster sub-model parameters and word sub-model parameters.
