Google for stuff like "similarity scoring", "Hamming distance" and "information theory". Such topics are well beyond the scope of this list, however, and not the sort of thing you'd want to do in AS anyway. I don't know where you'd be best to ask for advice, but somewhere like the comp.programming newsgroup would probably be able to point you in the right direction.
