Multiple algorithms are known for efficiently calculating the prefix probability of a string under a probabilistic context-free grammar (PCFG). Good algorithms for the problem have a runtime cubic in the length of the input string. However,…

We present a novel parsing algorithm for all context-free languages, based on computing the relation between configurations and reaching transitions in a recursive transition network. Parsing complexity w.r.t. input length matches the state…

Internal Pattern Matching (IPM) queries on a text $T$, given two fragments $X$ and $Y$ of $T$ such that $|Y|<2|X|$, ask to compute all exact occurrences of $X$ within $Y$. IPM queries have been introduced by Kociumaka, Radoszewski, Rytter,…

Here we study the complexity of string problems as a function of the size of a program that generates input. We consider straight-line programs (SLP), since all algorithms on SLP-generated strings could be applied to processing…

The $k$-mappability problem has two integers parameters $m$ and $k$. For every subword of size $m$ in a text $S$, we wish to report the number of indices in $S$ in which the word occurs with at most $k$ mismatches. The problem was lately…

In-context learning has established itself as an important learning paradigm for Large Language Models (LLMs). In this paper, we demonstrate that LLMs can learn encoding keys in-context and perform analysis directly on encoded…

In this paper, we consider the problem of efficiently representing a set $S$ of $n$ items out of a universe $U=\{0,...,u-1\}$ while supporting a number of operations on it. Let $G=g_1...g_n$ be the gap stream associated with $S$, $gap$ its…

In this paper, we show that the LZ77 factorization of a text T {\in\Sigma^n} can be computed in O(R log n) bits of working space and O(n log R) time, R being the number of runs in the Burrows-Wheeler transform of T reversed. For extremely…

Grammar-based compression is a loss-less data compression scheme that represents a given string $w$ by a context-free grammar that generates only $w$. While computing the smallest grammar which generates a given string $w$ is NP-hard in…
