Text indexing is a classical algorithmic problem that has been studied for over four decades: given a text $T$, pre-process it off-line so that, later, we can quickly count and locate the occurrences of any string (the query pattern) in $T$…
We study the query complexity of exactly reconstructing a string from adaptive queries, such as substring, subsequence, and jumbled-index queries. Such problems have applications, e.g., in computational biology. We provide a number of new…
The problem of learning structural equation models (SEMs) from data is a fundamental problem in causal inference. We develop a new algorithm --- which is computationally and statistically efficient and works in the high-dimensional regime…
We introduce a novel chart-based algorithm for span-based parsing of discontinuous constituency trees of block degree two, including ill-nested structures. In particular, we show that we can build variants of our parser with smaller search…
Augmented B-trees (aB-trees) are a broad class of data structures. The seminal work "succincter" by Patrascu showed that any aB-tree can be stored using only two bits of redundancy, while supporting queries to the tree in time proportional…
Top-down parsing has received much attention recently. Parsing expression grammars (PEG) allows construction of linear time parsers using packrat algorithm. These techniques however suffer from problem of prefix hiding. We use alternative…
It is widely assumed that $O(m+\lg \sigma)$ is the best one can do for finding a pattern of length $m$ in a compacted trie storing strings over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, if one insists on linear-size data structures and deterministic…
Prefix-free parsing (PFP) was introduced by Boucher et al. (2019) as a preprocessing step to ease the computation of Burrows-Wheeler Transforms (BWTs) of genomic databases. Given a string $S$, it produces a dictionary $D$ and a parse $P$ of…
An indexed sequence of strings is a data structure for storing a string sequence that supports random access, searching, range counting and analytics operations, both for exact matches and prefix search. String sequences lie at the core of…
We present a new universal source code for distributions of unlabeled binary and ordinal trees that achieves optimal compression to within lower order terms for all tree sources covered by existing universal codes. At the same time, it…
The string indexing problem is a fundamental computational problem with numerous applications, including information retrieval and bioinformatics. It aims to efficiently solve the pattern matching problem: given a text T of length n for…
This paper shows how to generate code that efficiently converts sparse tensors between disparate storage formats (data layouts) such as CSR, DIA, ELL, and many others. We decompose sparse tensor conversion into three logical phases:…
We introduce a compressed suffix array representation that, on a text $T$ of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, can be built in $O(n)$ deterministic time, within $O(n\log\sigma)$ bits of working space, and counts the number of…
The problem of finding factors of a text string which are identical or similar to a given pattern string is a central problem in computer science. A generalised version of this problem consists in implementing an index over the text to…
We introduce Probabilistic FastText, a new model for word embeddings that can capture multiple word senses, sub-word structure, and uncertainty information. In particular, we represent each word with a Gaussian mixture density, where the…
It is still a challenging task to learn a neural text generation model under the framework of generative adversarial networks (GANs) since the entire training process is not differentiable. The existing training strategies either suffer…
In this paper we describe compressed indexes that support pattern matching queries for strings with wildcards. For a constant size alphabet our data structure uses $O(n\log^{\varepsilon}n)$ bits for any $\varepsilon>0$ and reports all…
We describe a data structure that stores a string $S$ in space similar to that of its Lempel-Ziv encoding and efficiently supports access, rank and select queries. These queries are fundamental for implementing succinct and compressed data…
In this paper, a new and novel data structure is proposed to dynamically insert and delete segments. Unlike the standard segment trees[3], the proposed data structure permits insertion of a segment with interval range beyond the interval…
A sequence $e_0,e_1,\ldots$ of edit operations in a string $T$ is called ephemeral if operation $e_i$ constructing string $T^i$, for all $i=2k$ with $k\in\mathbb{N}$, is reverted by operation $e_{i+1}$ that reconstructs $T$. Such a sequence…
