Mappings to structured output spaces (strings, trees, partitions, etc.) are typically learned using extensions of classification algorithms to simple graphical structures (eg., li...
Abstract. Sequence alignment is an important task for molecular biologists. Because alignment basically deals with approximate string matching on large biological sequence collecti...
Given a set S = {s1, s2, . . . , sn} of strings each of length m, and an integer L, we study the following two problems. k-Closest Substring problem: find k center strings c1, c2,...
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in gapped q-gram filters for approximate string matching. Important design parameters for filters are for example the value of q, the f...
