In the end though, it would be nice to have a single library method and an input parameter to decide whether the computation should be exact or approximate. Regarding the bloom filter, the idea is for each vertex to build a bloom filter with its neighbors and "send" it to its neighbors. Then, each vertex can compare its own neighborhood (the exact one) with the received bloom filter neighborhoods. Take a look at how approximate Jaccard is computed in the okapi library [here](https://github.com/grafos-ml/okapi/blob/master/src/main/java/ml/grafos/okapi/graphs/similarity/Jaccard.java) (class `JaccardApproximation `). Let me know if you have more questions :)
