In this paper we present algorithms for several string problems in the Congested Clique model. In the Congested Clique model, $n$ nodes (computers) are used to solve some problem. The input to the problem is distributed among the nodes, and…

Frequent pattern mining is widely used to find ``important'' or ``interesting'' patterns in data. While it is not easy to mathematically define such patterns, maximal frequent patterns are promising candidates, as frequency is a natural…
