A guided tour to approximate string matching

Abstract: Artículo de publicación ISI.We survey the current techniques to cope with the problem of string matching that allows errors. This is becoming a more and more relevant issue for many fast growing areas such as information retrieval and computational biology. We focus on online searching and mostly on edit distance, explaining the problem and its relevance, its statistical behavior, its history and current developments, and the central ideas of the algorithms and their complexities. We present a number of experi… Show more

“…Alternatively, we can use another definition of distance: the minimum number of operations, i.e., substitutions, insertions, and deletions, we must use in order to convert one sequence into another. This distance, which may always be used regardless of any length difference between the sequences, is also referred to as the edit distance [31,32].…”

“…In this paper, we learn an alphabet to represent human body parts and build a dictionary to characterize human poses. Furthermore, string matching [30], a technique widely used in text recognition and retrieval, is employed to verify hypotheses in human detection.…”

“…The benefit of representing human poses by sequences is that comparison and matching of human poses can be transformed into string matching [30], which has been proven to be both robust and efficient in text recognition. For human detection, hypothesis verification can be accomplished by matching the hypotheses with a set of reference poses.…”
