A Linear Tree Edit Distance Algorithm for Similar Ordered Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a linear algorithm for comparing two similar ordered rooted trees with node labels. The method for comparing trees is the usual tree edit distance. We show that an optimal mapping which uses at most k insertions or deletions can then be constructed in O(nk) where n is the size of the trees. The approach is inspired by the ZhangShasha algorithm for tree edit distance in combination with an adequate pruning of the search space.

Optimal Decomposition Strategy For Tree Edit Distance
An ordered labeled tree is a tree where the left-to-right order among siblings is significant. Given two ordered labeled trees, the edit distance between them is the minimum cost edit operations that convert one tree to the other. In this thesis, we present an algorithm for the tree edit distance problem by using the optimal tree decomposition strategy. By combining the vertical compression of ...
متن کاملComputing the Edit-Distance between Unrooted Ordered Trees
An ordered tree is a tree in which each node’s incident edges are cyclically ordered; think of the tree as being embedded in the plane. Let A and B be two ordered trees. The edit distance between A and B is the minimum cost of a sequence of operations (contract an edge, uncontract an edge, modify the label of an edge) needed to transform A into B. We give an O(n logn) algorithm to compute the e...
متن کاملA new constrained edit distance between quotiented ordered trees
In this paper we propose a dynamic programming algorithm to compare two quotiented ordered trees using a constrained edit distance. An ordered tree is a tree in which the left-to-right order among siblings is significant. A quotiented ordered tree is an ordered tree T with an equivalence relation on vertices and such that, when the equivalence classes are collapsed to super-nodes, the graph so ...

There exists a bijection between one stack sortable permutations –permutations which avoid the pattern 231– and planar trees. We define an edit distance between permutations which is coherent with the standard edit distance between trees. This one-to-one correspondence yields a polynomial algorithm for the subpermutation problem for (231) avoiding permutations. Moreover, we obtain the generatin...
متن کاملAn Improved Algorithm for Tree Edit Distance Incorporating Structural Linearity
An ordered labeled tree is a tree in which the nodes are labeled and the left-to-right order among siblings is significant. The edit distance between two ordered labeled trees is the minimum cost of transforming one tree into the other by a sequence of edit operations. Among the best known tree edit distance algorithms, the majority can be categorized in terms of a framework named cover strateg...
