Abstract
A method and system for clustering a plurality of data elements is provided. According to embodiments of the present invention, a bit vector is generated based on each of the data elements. Bit operations are used to group each data element into a cluster. Clustering may be performed by partition clustering or hierarchical clustering. Embodiments of the present invention cluster data elements such as text documents, audio files, video files, photos, or other data files.
