is LSH works for zip,jar, wim, iso or any kind of compressed files?

Question

I am wanted to know will LSH(Locality senstive hashing) work for any kind of files to find nearest neighbors ? Means i noticed everywhere, using text file only but i want to find for wim,iso and zip files.

So will it work for the wim, iso and zip files as well.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There is a paper which might be interesting in this context:

Edward Raff, Joe Aurelio. PyLZJD: An Easy to Use Tool for Machine Learning in Proceedings of the 18th Python in Science Conference, 97-102. http://hdl.handle.net/11603/14971

It actually defines a metric for compressed data, which could be used for LSH.
