Searching for all occurrences of a pattern in a text is a fundamental problem in computer science with applications in many other fields, like natural language processing, information retrieval and computational biology. In the last two…
We introduce height-bounded LZ encodings (LZHB), a new family of compressed representations that are variants of Lempel-Ziv parsings with a focus on bounding the worst-case access time to arbitrary positions in the text directly via the…
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 $T$…
Assessing the extent of human edits on texts generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) is crucial to understanding the human-AI interactions and improving the quality of automated text generation systems. Existing edit distance metrics,…
We study the complexity of constructing an optimal parsing $\varphi$ of a string ${\bf s} = s_1 \dots s_n$ under the constraint that given a position $p$ in the original text, and the LZ76-like (Lempel Ziv 76) encoding of $T$ based on…
We consider the general problem of matching a subspace to a signal in R^N that has been observed indirectly (compressed) through a random projection. We are interested in the case where the collection of K-dimensional subspaces is…

Continuous word representations learned separately on distinct languages can be aligned so that their words become comparable in a common space. Existing works typically solve a least-square regression problem to learn a rotation aligning a…
In search advertising, keyword matching connects user queries with relevant ads. While token-based matching increases ad coverage, it can reduce relevance due to overly permissive semantic expansion. This work extends keyword reach through…

In this work, our objective is to address the problems of generalization and flexibility for text recognition in documents. We introduce a new model that exploits the repetitive nature of characters in languages, and decouples the visual…
Levering data on social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, requires information retrieval algorithms to become able to relate very short text fragments to each other. Traditional text similarity methods such as tf-idf cosine-similarity,…
Mapping is crucial in robotics for localization and downstream decision-making. As robots are deployed in ever-broader settings, the maps they rely on continue to increase in size. However, storing these maps indefinitely (cold storage),…
