Introduction †

SlideSort is fast and exact method that can find all similar pairs from a string pool in terms of edit distance.

The input to slidesort is a set of sequences of almost equal length and a threshold of edit distance.

From the input sequences, SlideSort exactly find all pairs within the input threshold.

SlideSort also accepts a threshold of maximum number of insertions/deletions.

SlideSort can find similar pairs

  • within edit-distance d,
  • from sequences whose length range from minimum length L to L+d
  • with arbitrary gap length g.
