A sublinear algorithm for weakly approximating edit distance
We show how to determine whether the edit distance between two given strings is small in sublinear time. Specifically, we present a test which, given two n-character strings A and...

Approximating edit distance in near-linear time
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...

Restricted Transposition Invariant Approximate String Matching Under Edit Distance
Let A and B be strings with lengths m and n, respectively, over a finite integer alphabet. Two classic string mathing problems are computing the edit distance between A and B, and...

TASM: Top-k Approximate Subtree Matching
Abstract-- We consider the Top-k Approximate Subtree Matching (TASM) problem: finding the k best matches of a small query tree, e.g., a DBLP article with 15 nodes, in a large docum...
