Abstract:
Approximate string matching is the problem of finding a pattern in a text
allowing for some errors to occur.
Indexing methods for the approximate string matching problem spend a
considerable effort generating condensed neighborhoods. In this session we
point out that condensed neighborhoods are not a minimal
representation of a pattern neighborhood. We show that we can restrict
our attention to super condensed neighborhoods which are minimal. We
then present a basic algorithm for generating Super Condensed
Neighborhoods. The algorithm runs in O(m s), where m is the
pattern size and s is the size of the super condensed
neighborhood. Previous algorithms took O(m c) time, where c is the
size of the condensed neighborhood. We present an implementation of the
algorithm using modern Bit-Parallelism and Increased Bit-Parallelism
techniques.

Upcoming Events
Mathematics, Physics & Machine Learning Seminar Series (Online)

The Mathematics, Physics & Machine Learning seminar series has started on October 2020 and runs until March 2021.
The seminars aim to bring together mathematicians and physicists interested in machine learning (ML) with ML and AI experts interested in mathematics and physics, with the goal of introducing innovative Mathematics and Physics-inspired techniques in Machine Learning and, reciprocally, applying Machine Learning to problems in Mathematics and Physics.
Attendance is free but registration is required.

International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing

The 27th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par 2021) will take from August 30 to September 3 2021 in Lisbon.
Euro-Par is the prime European conference covering all aspects of parallel and distributed processing, ranging from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to full-fledged applications, from architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation, to tools, support infrastructures, and application performance aspects.
The 2021 edition of Euro-Par will be organized as a collaboration between INESC-ID and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).
