Practical data structures for the edit-sensitive parsing (ESP) are proposed. Given a string S, its ESP tree is equivalent to a context-free grammar G generating just S, which is represented by a DAG. Using the succinct data structures for…
In this work, we revisit the fundamental and well-studied problem of approximate pattern matching under edit distance. Given an integer $k$, a pattern $P$ of length $m$, and a text $T$ of length $n \ge m$, the task is to find substrings of…
In well-studied graph modification problems, adding and deleting vertices and edges are used as graph editing operations. We propose a model for graph modification on geometric intersection graphs called Geometric Graph Edit Distance that…
Edit Distance is a classic family of dynamic programming problems, among which Time Warp Edit Distance refines the problem with the notion of a metric and temporal elasticity. A novel Improved Time Warp Edit Distance algorithm that is both…
In the $k$-mismatch problem we are given a pattern of length $n$ and a text and must find all locations where the Hamming distance between the pattern and the text is at most $k$. A series of recent breakthroughs have resulted in an…
Two recent lower bounds on the compressibility of repetitive sequences, $\delta \le \gamma$, have received much attention. It has been shown that a length-$n$ string $S$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ can be represented within the…
Let $W$ be a string of length $n$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$, $k$ be a positive integer, and $\mathcal{S}$ be a set of length-$k$ substrings of $W$. The ETFS problem asks us to construct a string $X_{\mathrm{ED}}$ such that: (i) no string of…
The Word Movers Distance (WMD) measures the semantic dissimilarity between two text documents by computing the cost of optimally moving all words of a source/query document to the most similar words of a target document. Computing WMD…
The Word Mover's Distance (WMD) is a metric that measures the semantic dissimilarity between two text documents by computing the cost of moving all words of a source/query document to the most similar words of a target document optimally.…
We show that the edit distance between two run-length encoded strings of compressed lengths $m$ and $n$ respectively, can be computed in $\mathcal{O}(mn\log(mn))$ time. This improves the previous record by a factor of…
In the presence of inconsistencies, repair techniques thrive to restore consistency by reasoning with several repairs. However, since the number of repairs can be large, standard inconsistent tolerant semantics usually yield few answers. In…
Error Tree is a novel tree structure that is mainly oriented to solve the approximate pattern matching problems, Hamming and edit distances, as well as the wildcards matching problem. The input is a text of length $n$ over a fixed alphabet…
Many modern data-intensive computational problems either require, or benefit from distance or similarity data that adhere to a metric. The algorithms run faster or have better performance guarantees. Unfortunately, in real applications, the…
We introduce a normal form for context-free grammars, called Dyck normal form. This is a syntactical restriction of the Chomsky normal form, in which the two nonterminals occurring on the right-hand side of a rule are paired nonterminals.…
We present a new efficient method for approximate search in electronic lexica. Given an input string (the pattern) and a similarity threshold, the algorithm retrieves all entries of the lexicon that are sufficiently similar to the pattern.…
We study Geometric Graph Edit Distance (GGED), a graph-editing model to compute the minimum edit distance of intersection graphs that uses moving objects as an edit operation. We first show an $O(n\log n)$-time algorithm that minimises the…
A tandem duplication denotes the process of inserting a copy of a segment of DNA adjacent to its original position. More formally, a tandem duplication can be thought of as an operation that converts a string $S = AXB$ into a string $T =…
We propose a novel language-independent approach to improve the efficiency for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) by dividing the task into two subtasks: Erroneous Span Detection (ESD) and Erroneous Span Correction (ESC). ESD identifies…
We propose different ways of lifting the notion of Dyck language from words to 2-dimensional (2D) pictures, by means of new definitions of increasing comprehensiveness. Two of the proposals are based on alternative definitions of a Dyck…
The exact path length problem is to determine if there is a path of a given fixed cost between two vertices. This paper focuses on the exact path problem for costs $-1,0$ or $+1$ between all pairs of vertices in an edge-weighted digraph.…
