(LaTeX) Abstract:
The q-gram filter is a popular filtering method for approximate
string matching. It compares substrings of length q (the q-grams)
in the pattern and the text to identify the text areas that might
contain a match. A generalization of the method is to use gapped
q-grams, subsets of q characters in some fixed non-contiguous
shape, instead of contiguous substrings. Although mentioned a few
times in the literature, this generalization has never been studied
in any depth. In ths paper, we report the first results from a
study on gapped q-grams. We show that gapped q-grams can provide
orders of magnitude faster and/or more efficient filtering than
contiguous q-grams. The performance, however, depends on the shape
of the q-grams. The best shaoes are rare and often posess no
apparen regularity. We show how to recognize good shapes and
demonstrate with experiments their advantage over both contiguous
and average shapes. We concentrate here on the k mismatches
problem, but also outline an approach for extending the results
to the more common k differences problem.
