Sublinear Algorithms for Approximating String Compressibility
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...

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...

Approximate Search Engine Optimization for Directory Service
Today, in many practical E-Commerce systems, the real stored data usually are short strings, such as names, addresses, or other information. Searching data within these short stri...

Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...

Flexible Music Retrieval in Sublinear Time
Music sequences can be treated as texts in order to perform music retrieval tasks on them. However, the text search problems that result from this modeling are unique to music retr...
