I made a machine learning puzzle: Find out what‘s going on in the different models and data sets to free the ghost of the latent space. Check it out here for some fun during the holiday break: github.com/mattminder/latent…

Great blog post! I think the experiments confirm my speculation that information distance works well with compression algorithms that take advantage of overlapped substrings information. Maybe even LCS+knn can work? hash n-gram algorithm is an awesome idea, love it.
