Provide an example for using FALCONN with sparse data #27

Probably good to figure #5 out first.

hjain689 commented 7 years ago

is there any example with sparse data yet?

ludwigschmidt commented 7 years ago

Not yet but hopefully soon :-)

I have sparse data in scipy-sparse_matrix format. I would like to know how to use that as a dataset in FALCONN (python)? The setup() method throws an error saying that dataset must be a numpy ndarray. I am not able to convert the sparse to dense matrix because of memory constraints.

Same question. Is there any updates for sparse matrix ? THANKS
