[HTML][HTML] Hardness results for the center and median string problems under the weighted and unweighted edit distances

F Nicolas, E Rivals - Journal of discrete algorithms, 2005 - Elsevier
Given a finite set of strings, the Median String problem consists in finding a string that
minimizes the sum of the edit distances to the strings in the set. Approximations of the …

Median strings: A review

X Jiang, H Bunke, J Csirik - Data Mining in Time Series Databases, 2004 - World Scientific
Time series can be effectively represented by strings. The median concept is useful in
various contexts. In this chapter its adaptation to the domain of strings is discussed. We …

A new iterative algorithm for computing a quality approximate median of strings based on edit operations

J Abreu, JR Rico-Juan - Pattern Recognition Letters, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper presents a new algorithm that can be used to compute an approximation to the
median of a set of strings. The approximate median is obtained through the successive …

Median strings for k-nearest neighbour classification

CD Martınez-Hinarejos, A Juan… - Pattern Recognition Letters, 2003 - Elsevier
Modelling a (large) set of garbled patterns with a prototype is an important issue in pattern
recognition. When strings are used as object representations, the representative prototype …

Reducing the computational cost of computing approximated median strings

CD Martínez-Hinarejos, A Juan, F Casacuberta… - Joint IAPR International …, 2002 - Springer
