-# Hashing float vectors in N-dimensions
+# Hashing N-dimensional float vectors
 
-Package hyper allows fast approximate search of nearest neighbour vectors in n-dimensional space.
+Search nearest neighbour vectors in n-dimensional space with hashes. There are no dependencies in this package.
 
-Package functions discretize a vector and generate a set of hashes, as described in the [following document](https://vitali-fedulov.github.io/algorithm-for-hashing-high-dimensional-float-vectors.html).
+The algorithm is based on the assumption that two real numbers can be considered equal within certain equality distance. Then quantization is used for comparison. To make sure points near or at quantization borders are also comparable, a vector can be discretized into more than one hash, as described [here](https://vitali-fedulov.github.io/similar.pictures/algorithm-for-hashing-high-dimensional-float-vectors.html) (also as [PDF](https://github.com/vitali-fedulov/research/blob/main/Algorithm%20for%20hashing%20float%20vectors.pdf)). The method indirectly clusters given vectors by hypercubes.
 
-To use the package follow the sequence of functions/methods:
-1) CubeSet or CentralCube, depending which one is used for a database record and which one for a query.
-2) HashSet and DecimalHash to get corresponding hash set and central hash from results of (2). If DecimalHash is not suitable because of very large number of buckets or dimensions, use FNV1aHash to get both the hash set and the central hash).
 
-[Example](https://github.com/vitali-fedulov/images3/blob/master/hashes.go) of usage for image comparison.
+
+## How to use
+
+1) Provided a float vector []float64, use `CubeSet` and `CentralCube` functions to generate hypercube coordinates []int. The difference between the two functions is that one corresponds to hash-table record and the other to a query or vice versa, depending on performance/memory preference.
+2) `HashSet` and `DecimalHash`/`FNV1aHash` are used to get corresponding hash set and central hash from the hypercube coordinates above. There are 2 alternative hash functions: DecimalHash and FNV1aHash. DecimalHash does not have collisions, but is not suitable for cases with large number of buckets or dimensions. FNV1aHash is applicable for all cases.
+
+[Example](https://github.com/vitali-fedulov/imagehash2/blob/main/hashes.go) for similar image search and clustering.
