Bit-parallel (γ,δ)-matching and suffix automata

Abstract

(δ,γ)-matching is a string matching problem with applications to music retrieval. The goal is, given a pattern P1...m and a text T1...n on an alphabet of integers, find the occurrences P′ of the pattern in the text such that (i) ∇1≤i≤m, |Pi-P'i|≤δ and (ii) ∑1≤i≤m|Pi-P'i|≤γ. The problem makes sense for δ≤γ≤δm. Several techniques for (δ,γ)-matching have been proposed, based on bit-parallelism or on skipping characters. We first present an O(mn log(γ) / w) worst-case time and O(n) average-case time bit-parallel algorithm (being w the number of bits in the computer word). It improves the previous O(mn log(δm) / w) worst-case time algorithm of the same type. Second, we combine our bit-parallel algorithm with suffix automata to obtain the first algorithm that skips characters using both δ and γ. This algorithm examines less characters than any previous approach, as the others do just δ-matching and check the γ-condition on the candidates. We implemented our algorithms and drew experimental results on real music, showing that our algorithms are superior to current alternatives with high values of δ.
