US Patent 11995522 Identifying similarity matrix for derived perceptions

An embodiment includes generating a query prompting a user to select from among a plurality of response options related to a first query set of objects. The embodiment also receives, responsive to the query, user input representative of a selected response option selected by the user from among the plurality of response options. The embodiment also calculates a plurality of weight values for respective ones of a plurality of similarity matrices based on the selected response option, where the plurality of similarity matrices include respective different sets of similarity values, each set of similarity values comprising similarity values representative of similarities of respective pairs of the plurality of objects. The embodiment stores a designated similarity matrix that is selected from among the plurality of similarity matrices based at least in part on a weight value from among the plurality of weight values assigned to the designated similarity matrix.
