Data encoding for analysis acceleration
View Patent ↗For encoding data for analysis acceleration, a method calculates a classification set for a data group of a data set including a plurality of entries. The classification set includes a finite plurality of classification values. Each classification value is associated with a bit position in a data binary string of a specified binary length. The method further encodes each data value of the data group for each entry with one of the plurality of classification values in a corresponding data binary string for the entry.
1. A method comprising:
calculating, by use of a processor, a classification set for a data group of a data set comprising a plurality of entries, wherein the classification set comprises a finite plurality of classification values and each classification value is associated with a bit position for a data binary string of a specified binary length; and
encoding each data value of the data group for each entry with one of the plurality of classification values in a corresponding data binary string for the entry.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each data value is encoded by setting a bit in the associated bit position of the classification value for the data value.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
encoding a search template for a search value using the classification set; and
comparing the search template to each data binary string.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising identifying each data binary string matching the search template.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the classification values comprise a range of data values for ordinal data.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the classification values are nominal data values for nominal data.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the classification values comprises groups of data values for nominal data.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the classification values are inequalities for rating data.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein data set comprises survey data.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the survey data is customer experience data.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the survey data is employee experience data.
12. An apparatus comprising:
a non-transitory memory storing program code executable by a processor, the program code comprising:
a classification module calculating a classification set for a data group of a data set comprising a plurality of entries, wherein the classification set comprises a finite plurality of classification values and each classification value is associated with a bit position for a data binary string of a specified binary length; and
an encoding module encoding each data value of the data group for each entry with one of the plurality of classification values in a corresponding data binary string for the entry.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein each data value is encoded by setting a bit in the associated bit position of the classification value for the data value.
14. The apparatus of claim 12 , the encoding module further
encoding a search template for a search value using the classification set;
comparing the search template to each data binary string; and
identifying each data binary string matching the search template.
15. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the classification values comprise a range of data values for ordinal data and nominal data values for nominal data.
16. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the classification values are inequalities for rating data.
17. A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing program code executable by a processor to perform:
calculating a classification set for a data group of a data set comprising a plurality of entries, wherein the classification set comprises a finite plurality of classification values and each classification value is associated with a bit position for a data binary string of a specified binary length; and
encoding each data value of the data group for each entry with one of the plurality of classification values in a corresponding data binary string for the entry.
18. The program product of claim 17 , wherein each data value is encoded by setting a bit in the associated bit position of the classification value for the data value.
19. The program product of claim 17 , the program code further:
encoding a search template for a search value using the classification set;
comparing the search template to each data binary string; and
identifying each data binary string matching the search template.
20. The program product of claim 17 , wherein the classification values comprise a range of data values for ordinal data and nominal data values for nominal data.
