X Abstract

We improve the fastest known algorithm for approximate string matching. This algorithm can only be used for low error levels. By using a new algorithm to verify potential matches and a new optimization technique for biased texts (such as English), the algorithm becomes the fastest one for medium error levels too. This includes most of the interesting cases in this area.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
