The suffix tree is arguably the most fundamental data structure on strings: introduced by Weiner (SWAT 1973) and McCreight (JACM 1976), it allows solving a myriad of computational problems on strings in linear time. Motivated by its large…
A dynamic dictionary is a data structure that maintains sets of cardinality at most $n$ from a given universe and supports insertions, deletions, and membership queries. A filter approximates membership queries with a one-sided error that…
The dictionary matching problem preprocesses a set of patterns and finds all occurrences of each of the patterns in a text when it is provided. We focus on the dynamic setting, in which patterns can be inserted to and removed from the…
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 FM-index is a celebrated compressed data structure for full-text pattern searching. After the first wave of interest in its theoretical developments, we can observe a surge of interest in practical FM-index variants in the last few…
In a variety of applications, we need to keep track of the development of a data set over time. For maintaining and querying this multi version data I/O-efficiently, external memory data structures are required. In this paper, we present a…
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…
We study the problem of designing a \emph{resilient} data structure maintaining a tree under the Faulty-RAM model [Finocchi and Italiano, STOC'04] in which up to $\delta$ memory words can be corrupted by an adversary. Our data structure…
Bulk-bitwise processing-in-memory (PIM), where large bitwise operations are performed in parallel by the memory array itself, is an emerging form of computation with the potential to mitigate the memory wall problem. This paper examines the…
Word meaning change can be inferred from drifts of time-varying word embeddings. However, temporal data may be too sparse to build robust word embeddings and to discriminate significant drifts from noise. In this paper, we compare three…
Compressed indexing is a powerful technique that enables efficient querying over data stored in compressed form, significantly reducing memory usage and often accelerating computation. While extensive progress has been made for…
The effective use of parallel computing resources to speed up algorithms in current multi-core parallel architectures remains a difficult challenge, with ease of programming playing a key role in the eventual success of various parallel…
FOLD-RM is an explainable machine learning classification algorithm that uses training data to create a set of classification rules. In this paper we introduce CON-FOLD which extends FOLD-RM in several ways. CON-FOLD assigns…
We present an optimal partially-persistent external-memory search tree with amortized I/O bounds matching those achieved by the non-persistent $B^{\varepsilon}$-tree by Brodal and Fagerberg [SODA 2003]. In a partially-persistent data…
Fill-in-the-middle (FIM) is a pretraining objective widely used to equip causal language models with infilling ability, yet its effect on verbatim memorization remains underexplored. We study the memorization dynamics of FIM in a controlled…
Indexing highly repetitive strings (i.e., strings with many repetitions) for fast queries has become a central research topic in string processing, because it has a wide variety of applications in bioinformatics and natural language…
A finite group of order $n$ can be represented by its Cayley table. In the word-RAM model the Cayley table of a group of order $n$ can be stored using $O(n^2)$ words and can be used to answer a multiplication query in constant time. It is…
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…
Composed image retrieval (CIR) aims to retrieve a target image that depicts a reference image modified by a textual description. While recent vision-language models (VLMs) achieve promising CIR performance by embedding images and text into…
The field of automatic music composition has seen great progress in recent years, specifically with the invention of transformer-based architectures. When using any deep learning model which considers music as a sequence of events with…
