Tree Edit Distance: Near-Linear-Time Approximate, Sublinear, and Dynamic

Bingbing Hu, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakob Nogler +1

Tree edit distance (TED), the analog of string edit distance (ED) for hierarchical data, is the minimum number of node insertions, deletions, and substitutions transforming one lab…

Dynamic Time Warping in the Low-Distance Regime

Itai Boneh, Shay Golan, Tomasz Kociumaka

Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is a classical similarity measure for strings and time series that allows local stretching. Given non-empty strings over an alphabet and a cost…

Cell-Probe Lower Bounds and Complexity-Preserving Reductions for Suffix Array Queries

Dominik Kempa, Tomasz Kociumaka

For a text of length over an alphabet of size , its suffix array lists the starting positions of the suffixes of in lexicographic order, and its inverse suffix array…

Constant-Time Inverse Suffix Array Queries in Compact Space and Sublinear-Time Construction of Suffix Array Indexes

Dominik Kempa, Tomasz Kociumaka

For a text with , its suffix array orders the suffix starting positions lexicographically, while its inverse suffix array maps each position to its suf…

Tight Lower Bounds for Central String Queries in Compressed Space

Dominik Kempa, Tomasz Kociumaka

In this work, we study the limits of compressed data structures, i.e., structures that support various queries on an input text using space proportional to the size of $T…

Explaining the Inherent Tradeoffs for Suffix Array Functionality: Equivalences between String Problems and Prefix Range Queries

Dominik Kempa, Tomasz Kociumaka

We study the fundamental question of how efficiently suffix array entries can be accessed when the array cannot be stored explicitly. The suffix array of a text of…

Dynamic Dyck and Tree Edit Distance: Decompositions and Reductions to String Edit Distance

Debarati Das, Jacob Gilbert, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi +2

We present the first dynamic algorithms for Dyck and tree edit distances with subpolynomial update times. Dyck edit distance measures how far a parenthesis string is from a well-pa…

Faster Algorithm for Bounded Tree Edit Distance in the Low-Distance Regime

Tomasz Kociumaka, Ali Shahali

The tree edit distance is a natural dissimilarity measure between rooted ordered trees whose nodes are labeled over an alphabet . It is defined as the minimum number of node edi…

Bounded Weighted Edit Distance: Dynamic Algorithms and Matching Lower Bounds

Itai Boneh, Egor Gorbachev, Tomasz Kociumaka

The edit distance of two strings is the minimum number of character edits (insertions, deletions, and substitutions) needed to transform into . Its we…

Lempel-Ziv (LZ77) Factorization in Sublinear Time

Dominik Kempa, Tomasz Kociumaka

Lempel-Ziv (LZ77) factorization is a fundamental problem in string processing: Greedily partition a given string from left to right into blocks (called phrases) so that each ph…

Core-Sparse Monge Matrix Multiplication: Improved Algorithm and Applications

Paweł Gawrychowski, Egor Gorbachev, Tomasz Kociumaka

Min-plus matrix multiplication is used in many problems operating on distances in graphs or solvable by dynamic programming. Assuming the APSP hypothesis, there is no subcubic-time…

Bounded Edit Distance: Optimal Static and Dynamic Algorithms for Small Integer Weights

Egor Gorbachev, Tomasz Kociumaka

The edit distance of two strings is the minimum number of insertions, deletions, and substitutions needed to transform one string into the other. The textbook algorithm determines…

Faster Sublinear-Time Edit Distance

Karl Bringmann, Alejandro Cassis, Nick Fischer +1

We study the fundamental problem of approximating the edit distance of two strings. After an extensive line of research led to the development of a constant-factor approximation al…

Bellman-Ford is optimal for shortest hop-bounded paths

Tomasz Kociumaka, Adam Polak

This paper is about the problem of finding a shortest - path using at most edges in edge-weighted graphs. The Bellman--Ford algorithm solves this problem in time,…

How Compression and Approximation Affect Efficiency in String Distance Measures

Arun Ganesh, Tomasz Kociumaka, Andrea Lincoln +1

Real-world data often comes in compressed form. Analyzing compressed data directly (without decompressing it) can save space and time by orders of magnitude. In this work, we focus…

Language Edit Distance & Scored Parsing: Faster Algorithms & Connection to Fundamental Graph Problems

Tomasz Kociumaka, Barna Saha

Given a context free language over alphabet and a string , {\em the language edit distance} problem seeks the minimum number of edits (insertions, d…
