We investigate symbolic sequences and in particular information carriers as e.g. books and DNA--strings. First the higher order Shannon entropies are calculated, a characteristic root law is detected. Then the algorithmic entropy is…

Many services today massively and continuously produce log files of different and varying formats. These logs are important since they contain information about the application activities, which is necessary for improvements by analyzing…

Determining whether an unordered collection of overlapping substrings (called shingles) can be uniquely decoded into a consistent string is a problem that lies within the foundation of a broad assortment of disciplines ranging from…

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…

Constrained sequence codes have been widely used in modern communication and data storage systems. Sequences encoded with constrained sequence codes satisfy constraints imposed by the physical channel, hence enabling efficient and reliable…

To handle vast amounts of data, it is natural and popular to compress vectors and matrices. When we compress a vector from size $N$ down to size $n \ll N$, it certainly makes it easier to store and transmit efficiently, but does it also…

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…

A classical measure of string comparison is given by the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem on a pair of strings. We consider its generalisation, called the semi-local LCS problem, which arises naturally in many string-related…

A Straight-Line Program (SLP) $G$ for a string $T$ is a context-free grammar (CFG) that derives $T$ only, which can be considered as a compressed representation of $T$. In this paper, we show how to encode $G$ in $n \lceil \lg N \rceil + (n…

In this paper, we describe a new type of match between a pattern and a text that aren't necessarily maximal in the query, but still contain useful matching information: locally maximal exact matches (LEMs). There are usually a large amount…

Frequent pattern mining is a flagship problem in data mining. In its most basic form, it asks for the set of substrings of a given string $S$ of length $n$ that occur at least $\tau$ times in $S$, for some integer $\tau\in[1,n]$. We…

Kernel methods are powerful tools in machine learning. They have to be computationally efficient. In this paper, we present a novel Geometric-based approach to compute efficiently the string subsequence kernel (SSK). Our main idea is that…

Recurrent neural networks have proved to be an effective method for statistical language modeling. However, in practice their memory and run-time complexity are usually too large to be implemented in real-time offline mobile applications.…

We provide a deterministic algorithm that outputs an $O(n^{3/4} \log n)$-approximation for the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) of two input sequences of length $n$ in near-linear time. This is the first deterministic approximation…

In the longest common substring (LCS) problem, we are given two strings $S$ and $T$, each of length at most $n$, and we are asked to find a longest string occurring as a fragment of both $S$ and $T$. This is a classical and well-studied…

Given a sequence of n numbers, the Maximum Consecutive Subsums Problem (MCSP) asks for the maximum consecutive sum of lengths l for each l = 1,...,n. No algorithm is known for this problem which is significantly better than the naive…

Online string matching is a computational problem involving the search for patterns or substrings in a large text dataset, with the pattern and text being processed sequentially, without prior access to the entire text. Its relevance stems…

With the wide adoption of language models for IR -- and specifically RAG systems -- the latency of the underlying LLM becomes a crucial bottleneck, since the long contexts of retrieved passages lead large prompts and therefore, compute…

We present a simple adaptation of the Lempel Ziv 78' (LZ78) compression scheme ({\em IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1978}) that supports efficient random access to the input string. Namely, given query access to the compressed…

Compressed indexing enables powerful queries over massive and repetitive textual datasets using space proportional to the compressed input. While theoretical advances have led to highly efficient index structures, their practical…
