Many applications need to solve the problem of approximate string matching with block moves. It is an NP-Complete problem to compute block edit distance between two strings. Our go...
We describe an algorithm for comparing two RNA secondary structures coded in the form of trees that introduces two new operations, called node fusion and edge fusion, besides the t...
We construct an efficient probabilistic algorithm that, given a finite set with a binary operation, tests if it is an abelian group. The distance used is an analogue of the edit d...
Record matching is the task of identifying records that match the same real world entity. This is a problem of great significance for a variety of business intelligence applicatio...
Recent advances in large-margin classification of data residing in general metric spaces (rather than Hilbert spaces) enable classification under various natural metrics, such as ...
