The edit distance $ed(X,Y)$ of two strings $X,Y\in \Sigma^*$ is the minimum number of character edits (insertions, deletions, and substitutions) needed to transform $X$ into $Y$. Its weighted counterpart $ed^w(X,Y)$ minimizes the total cost…
Given two strings of length $n$ over alphabet $\Sigma$, and an upper bound $k$ on their edit distance, the algorithm of Myers (Algorithmica'86) and Landau and Vishkin (JCSS'88) computes the unweighted string edit distance in…
We present the first dynamic algorithms for Dyck and tree edit distances with subpolynomial update times. Dyck edit distance measures how far a parenthesis string is from a well-parenthesized expression, while tree edit distance quantifies…
The edit distance is a fundamental measure of sequence similarity, defined as the minimum number of character insertions, deletions, and substitutions needed to transform one string into the other. Given two strings of length at most $n$,…
The edit distance between two rooted ordered trees with $n$ nodes labeled from an alphabet~$\Sigma$ is the minimum cost of transforming one tree into the other by a sequence of elementary operations consisting of deleting and relabeling…
The edit distance of two strings is the minimum number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions needed to transform one string into the other. The textbook algorithm determines the edit distance of length-$n$ strings in $O(n^2)$ time,…
The edit distance of two strings is the minimum number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions of characters needed to transform one string into the other. The textbook dynamic-programming algorithm computes the edit distance of two…
The tree edit distance is a natural dissimilarity measure between rooted ordered trees whose nodes are labeled over an alphabet $\Sigma$. It is defined as the minimum number of node edits (insertions, deletions, and relabelings) required to…
Tree edit distance is a well-studied measure of dissimilarity between rooted trees with node labels. It can be computed in $O(n^3)$ time [Demaine, Mozes, Rossman, and Weimann, ICALP 2007], and fine-grained hardness results suggest that the…
Computing the edit distance of two strings is one of the most basic problems in computer science and combinatorial optimization. Tree edit distance is a natural generalization of edit distance in which the task is to compute a measure of…
The edit distance problem is a classical fundamental problem in computer science in general, and in combinatorial pattern matching in particular. The standard dynamic programming solution for this problem computes the edit-distance between…
The dynamic time warping (DTW) is a widely-used method that allows us to efficiently compare two time series that can vary in speed. Given two strings $A$ and $B$ of respective lengths $m$ and $n$, there is a fundamental dynamic programming…
We give the first non-trivial fully dynamic probabilistic tree embedding algorithm for weighted graphs undergoing edge insertions and deletions. We obtain a trade-off between amortized update time and expected stretch against an oblivious…
The Dyck language, which consists of well-balanced sequences of parentheses, is one of the most fundamental context-free languages. The Dyck edit distance quantifies the number of edits (character insertions, deletions, and substitutions)…
The tree edit distance (TED) between two rooted ordered trees with $n$ nodes labeled from an alphabet $\Sigma$ is the minimum cost of transforming one tree into the other by a sequence of valid operations consisting of insertions, deletions…
We revisit classic string problems considered in the area of parameterized complexity, and study them through the lens of dynamic data structures. That is, instead of asking for a static algorithm that solves the given instance efficiently,…
In many applications, it is necessary to determine the string similarity. Edit distance[WF74] approach is a classic method to determine Field Similarity. A well known dynamic programming algorithm [GUS97] is used to calculate edit distance…
A stable or locally-optimal cut of a graph is a cut whose weight cannot be increased by changing the side of a single vertex. In this paper we study Minimum Stable Cut, the problem of finding a stable cut of minimum weight. Since this…
Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is a widely used similarity measure for comparing strings that encode time series data, with applications to areas including bioinformatics, signature verification, and speech recognition. The standard…
Edit distance between trees is a natural generalization of the classical edit distance between strings, in which the allowed elementary operations are contraction, uncontraction and relabeling of an edge. Demaine et al. [ACM Trans. on…
