Hi,

I want to compute the pairwise cosine similarity of items in a vector
space of a very high dimensionality .

My input matrix is very sparse, but the number of nonzero elements per
item follows a very skewed distribution (i.e. power law-ish, with very
few items having lots of features, and vice versa).

Intuitively, comparing items with very different numbers of features
doesn't seem very desirable, but the only idea I got to mitigate this
problem is to partition my input matrix in "bands of items having
similar #s of features", which is not obvious to do, given the very
skewed distribution.

I'd greatly appreciate any idea or suggestion about this problem.

Thanks,

Christian
