Abstract
A system comprising: an index structure that associates devices with device feature information; a pairing engine to determine device pairs based upon device feature information; a feature vector generation engine to produce feature vectors corresponding to determined device pairs based upon feature values associated within the index structure with devices of the determined device pairs; a scoring engine to determine scores to associate with determined device pairs based upon produced feature vectors; a graph structure, wherein nodes within the graph structure represent devices of determined device pairs, and wherein edges between pairs of nodes within the graph structure indicate determined device pairs; a clustering engine to identify respective clusters of three or more nodes within the graph structure that represent respective groups of devices.
