摘要

In this paper, we consider random categorical (i.e., discrete valued) datasets and study decompositions into batches of small sizes and reduced similarity. We propose unique batch decompositions (UBDs) to counter the effect of pseudo-similar data points and use a balls and bins argument to obtain high probability bounds for the minimum size of UBDs with a given strictness parameter. We then invoke martingale based methods to obtain bounds for the maximum size of similarity-free subsets, in terms of the average similarity probability and illustrate with an example, that the overall dataset itself could be similarity-free with high probability, i.e., with probability converging to one as the number of data points  \(n \rightarrow \infty .\) n .
