We present a new bit-parallel technique for approximate string matching. We build on two previous techniques. The first one, BPM [Myers, J. of the ACM, 1999], searches for a patte...
Approximate queries on a collection of strings are important in many applications such as record linkage, spell checking, and Web search, where inconsistencies and errors exist in...
Existing distributed hash tables provide efficient mechanisms for storing and retrieving a data item based on an exact key, but are unsuitable when the search key is similar, but ...
Similarity search and similarity join on strings are important for applications such as duplicate detection, error detection, data cleansing, or comparison of biological sequences....
The web-services stack of standards is designed to support the reuse and interoperation of software components on the web. A critical step in the process of developing applications...
