Associating metadata (satellite values) with kmers about lphash HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi and thank you for your interest in LPHash.
This library provides you the hash function alone, it does not comprise further information. The paper explains that an application of locality-preserving hashing is to induce clusters of satellite values in a separate array that holds the values you want to associate to the kmers. Let V[1..n] be such array: V[i] stores the value of the kmer whose hash code is i. So, i is the hash code as returned by LPHash, for i = 1..n. You will see that V has clusters of very similar, if not identical, values.

Hope this explanation helps. Feel free to reach out if it does not!
Best,
