Abstract-- Answering approximate queries on string collections is important in applications such as data cleaning, query relaxation, and spell checking, where inconsistencies and e...
With large amounts of correlated probabilistic data being generated in a wide range of application domains including sensor networks, information extraction, event detection etc.,...
