Abstract:A method of direct numerical representation of symbolic data is proposed. The method starts with parsing a sequence into an ordered set (spectrum) of distinct, non-overlapping short strings of symbols (words). Next, the words spectrum is mapped onto a vector of binary components in a high dimensional, linear space. The numerical representation allows for some arithmetical operations on symbolic data. Among them is a meaningful average spectrum of two sequences. As a test, the new numerical representation is us… Show more
