Similar assignments
The "similar_assignments" table is used to store mappings between assignments.
Given an assignment id and association type, it answers two questions: - find other assignments that it is similar to. - find all its similar assignments.

The table can be reused for any future task that requires to create associations between assignments for any other intent (like rating score).
