How SimHash and Cosine Similarity Accelerate Large‑Scale Text Deduplication

This article explains why massive news feeds need efficient deduplication, compares cosine similarity and SimHash for measuring text similarity, walks through a step‑by‑step implementation with Java code, and shows how a space‑for‑time indexing strategy can reduce duplicate‑detection complexity from O(n²) to near O(1).
