Sublinear Time Algorithm for Edit Distance

Barna Saha https://womenintheory.wordpress.com/p... Women in Theory Abstract: Edit distance is a fundamental measure of sequence similarity. However, for two strings of length n, exact computation of edit distance requires time quadratic in n which is prohibitive for large data sets. This has resulted in a sequence of recent results that try to design faster algorithms for edit distance allowing for an approximate solution. Can one design any reasonable approximation algorithms for edit distance in time that is sublinear in n? This is of course very challenging. However, recently some progress has been made on this front. In this presentation, I will cover some of our recent works on sublinear time algorithm design for edit distance. Based on joint works with Elazar Godenberg, Tomasz Kociumaka, Robert Krauthgamer, and Aviad Rubinstein.
