The use of the TVG algorithm to map the MTS dataset into graphs eliminates the need to censor or truncate some parts of the MTS relationships, to rely on simplified metrics such as cosine similarity, or to patch the MTS.

“In particular, the use of the TVG algorithm to map the MTS dataset into graphs eliminates the need to censor or truncate some parts of the MTS relationships, as is the case with the constrained correlation approach used in [102]; to rely on simplified metrics such as cosine similarity, as is the case in [101]; or to patch the MTS, as is the case in [96].”
