Distance oracles and graph spanners are excerpts of a graph that allow to compute approximate shortest paths. Here, we consider the situation where it is possible to access the ori...
Given a string x and a language L, the Hamming distance of x to L is the minimum Hamming distance of x to any string in L. The edit distance of a string to a language is analogous...
A method for measuring dissimilarities between cyclic strings is introduced. It computes a weighted mean between two (lower and upper) bounds of the exact cyclic edit distance, wh...
Abstract. A black box method was recently given that solves the problem of online approximate matching for a class of problems whose distance functions can be classified as being ...
Abstract-- We consider the Top-k Approximate Subtree Matching (TASM) problem: finding the k best matches of a small query tree, e.g., a DBLP article with 15 nodes, in a large docum...
