  1. \(^a\)The number of instances in which the similarity score is greater than or equal to 0.8.
  2. \(^b\)The number of instances in which the similarity score is greater than or equal to 0.7.
  3. \(^c\)The minimum similarity score among the 33 pairs.
  4. \(^d\)The reduced fingerprint set using 0.3 as the threshold
