Approximating Edit Distance Efficiently
Edit distance has been extensively studied for the past several years. Nevertheless, no linear-time algorithm is known to compute the edit distance between two strings, or even to...

Using the Distance Distribution for Approximate Similarity Queries in High-Dimensional Metric Spaces
We investigate the problem of approximate similarity (nearest neighbor) search in high-dimensional metric spaces, and describe how the distance distribution of the query object ca...

Hardness of Approximating the Minimum Distance of a Linear Code
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...

Approximate String Matching in LDAP Based on Edit Distance
As the E-Commerce rapidly grows up, searching data is almost necessary in every application. Approximate string matching problems play a very important role to search with errors....

Distance-Preserving Approximations of Polygonal Paths
Given a polygonal path P with vertices p1, p2, . . . , pn and a real number t ≥ 1, a path Q = (pi1 , pi2 , . . . , pik ) is a t-distance-preserving approximation of P if 1 = i1 &...
