Abstract:

I review some recent contributions to methods based on finite automata for the String Matching problem and for some of its variants. In particular, I shall present a novel technique, suitable for bit-parallelism, to represent both the nondeterministic automaton and the nondeterministic suffix automaton of a given string in a more compact way. This new approach is based on a particular factorization of...

TITLE:
Deconstructing Approximate Offsets

ABSTRACT:
Today's problem arised in a wood-cutting company that got
a new cutter. The new tools needs a smaller safety-margin
to the desired cutout. However, the only available...

We are organizing a gathering for string algorithms researchers in the Helsinki area. The idea is to get a view of what is happening in this research area in Helsinki. We would also like to gauge interest in setting up more regular meetings (something like every other week) for example in journal club style.

The program will start with a guest lecture by Johannes Fischer from KIT, Institut für Theoretische...

Inaugural lecture: FiDiPro Professor JÜRGEN MÜNCH on Monday 29 August 2011 at 14.00 hrs in Linus Torvalds Auditorium B123, 1st floor of the Exactum Building, Gustaf Hällströminkatu 2 b, Kumpula Campus.

The Fifteenth IEEE International EDOC Conference, held on 29th August - 2nd September 2011 in Helsinki, Finland.

The Fourth Workshop on Information Theoretic Methods in Science and Engineering (WITMSE 2011) will take place in Helsinki on August 7-10, 2011. The workshop covers hot topics at the intersection of statistics, information theory, machine learning, and their applications. The technical program will include plenary...

Abstract:

In the last 15 years, computational linguistics and, more generally, artificial intelligence, has given more attention to emotions and creativity. New topics such as “affective computing”, “sentiment analysis”, or “opinion mining” are more and more present in many important AI conferences. In particular, computational humor is one of the most recent and challenging...
