Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
Abstract. An (α, β)-spanner of a graph G is a subgraph H that approximates distances in G within a multiplicative factor α and an additive error β, ensuring that for any two no...

In this article, we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: —We show that, for a...
Similarity search and similarity join on strings are important for applications such as duplicate detection, error detection, data cleansing, or comparison of biological sequences....
