This paper describes a method for optimizing the cost matrix of any approximate string matching algorithm based on the Levenshtein distance. The method, which uses genetic algorit...
We consider the following problem: given a forest of gene family trees on a set of genomes, find a first speciation which splits these genomes into two subsets and minimizes the ...
Abstract. We present a randomized approximation algorithm for counting contingency tables, m × n non-negative integer matrices with given row sums R = (r1, . . . , rm) and column ...

Packet classification is widely used in various network security and operation applications. Two of the main challenges are the increasing number of classification rules, amount o...
We study Hamming versions of two classical clustering problems. The Hamming radius p-clustering problem (HRC) for a set S of k binary strings, each of length n, is to find p bina...
