Abstract
MENDIVELSO, Juan; NIQUEFA, Rafael; PINZON, Yoan and HERNANDEZ, Germán. New Algorithms for δϒ-Order Preserving Matching. ing. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.2, pp.190-202. ISSN 0121-750X. https://doi.org/10.14483/23448393.13248.
Context:
Order-preserving matching regards comparing the relative order of symbols within different strings. However, its application areas require more flexibility in the matching paradigm. We advance in this direction in this paper that extends our previous work [27].
Method:
We define δϒ-order preserving matching as an approximate variant of order-preserving matching. We devise two solutions for it based on segment and Fenwick trees: segtreeBA and bitBA.
Results:
We experimentally show the efficiency of our algorithms compared to the ones presented in [26] (naiveA and updateBA). Also, we present applications of our approach in music retrieval and stock market analysis.
Conclusions:
Even though the worst-case time complexity of the proposed algorithms (namely, O(nm log m)) is higher than the Θ(nm)-time complexity of updateBA, their Ω(n log n) lower bound makes them more efficient in practice. On the other hand, we show that our approach is useful to identify similarity in music melodies and stock price trends through real application examples.
