We give an $\tilde O(n^2)$ time algorithm for computing the exact Dynamic Time Warping distance between two strings whose run-length encoding is of size at most $n$. This matches (up to log factors) the known (conditional) lower bound, and…

Consider a subset of positive integers $S$. In this paper, we reduce the upper bound on the length of a minimum program that enumerates $S$ in terms of the probability of $S$ being enumerated by a random program. So far, the best-known…

Product quantization-based approaches are effective to encode high-dimensional data points for approximate nearest neighbor search. The space is decomposed into a Cartesian product of low-dimensional subspaces, each of which generates a sub…

In this paper we present $LCSk$++: a new metric for measuring the similarity of long strings, and provide an algorithm for its efficient computation. With ever increasing size of strings occuring in practice, e.g. large genomes of plants…

The problem of computing the edit-distance between a string and a finite automaton arises in a variety of applications in computational biology, text processing, and speech recognition. This paper presents linear-space algorithms for…

Metrics on the space of sets of trajectories are important for scientists in the field of computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and general artificial intelligence. However, existing notions of closeness between sets of trajectories…

The question of how much communication is required between collaborating parties to compute a function of their data is of fundamental importance in the fields of theoretical computer science and information theory. In this work, the focus…

We seek for lines of minimal distance to finitely many points in the plane. The distance between a line and a set of points is defined by the L^p-norm, 1\leq p\leq \infty, of the vector of vertical or orthogonal distances from the single…

Motivated by the approach of random linear codes, a new distance in the vector space over a finite field is defined as the logarithm of the "surface area" of a Hamming ball with radius being the corresponding Hamming distance. It is named…

In the Closest String problem one is given a family $\mathcal S$ of equal-length strings over some fixed alphabet, and the task is to find a string $y$ that minimizes the maximum Hamming distance between $y$ and a string from $\mathcal S$.…

A $q$-ary code $C$ of length $n$ is a set of $n$-dimensional vectors (code words) with entries in $\{0, \ldots, q-1\}$. We say $C$ has constant weight $w$ if each code word has exactly $w$ nonzero entries. We say $C$ has minimum distance…

Alice and Bob want to know if two strings of length n are almost equal. That is, do they differ on \textit{at most} a bits? Let 0\leq a\leq n-1. We show that any deterministic protocol, as well as any error-free quantum protocol (C*…

In this work we examine recently proposed distance-based classification method designed for near-term quantum processing units with limited resources. We further study possibilities to reduce the quantum resources without any efficiency…

The number-theoretic codes are a class of codes defined by single or multiple congruences and are mainly used for correcting insertion and deletion errors. Since the number-theoretic codes are generally non-linear, the analysis method for…

Binary optimal codes often contain optimal or near-optimal subcodes. In this paper we show that this is true for the family of self-dual codes. One approach is to compute the optimum distance profiles (ODPs) of linear codes, which was…

A distance matrix $A \in \mathbb R^{n \times m}$ represents all pairwise distances, $A_{ij}=\mathrm{d}(x_i,y_j)$, between two point sets $x_1,...,x_n$ and $y_1,...,y_m$ in an arbitrary metric space $(\mathcal Z, \mathrm{d})$. Such matrices…

In this paper, we show $O(1.415^n)$-time and $O(1.190^n)$-space exact algorithms for 0-1 integer programs where constraints are linear equalities and coefficients are arbitrary real numbers. Our algorithms are quadratically faster than…

It is well known that the minimum distance for linear network codes plays the same role as the minimum distance for classical error control codes. However, Yang and Yeung (2008) discovered that for nonlinear network codes, the minimum…

Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers, and let $F$ be an alphabet of size $n$. A sequence over $F$ of length $m$ is a \emph{$k$-radius sequence} if any two distinct elements of $F$ occur within distance $k$ of each other somewhere in the…

We determine the maximal gap between the optimal values of an integer program and its linear programming relaxation, where the matrix and cost function are fixed but the right hand side is unspecified. Our formula involves irreducible…
