Indexing highly repetitive string collections, part II: Compressed indexes

G Navarro - ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 2021 - dl.acm.org
Two decades ago, a breakthrough in indexing string collections made it possible to
represent them within their compressed space while at the same time offering indexed …

Fully functional suffix trees and optimal text searching in BWT-runs bounded space

T Gagie, G Navarro, N Prezza - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2020 - dl.acm.org
Indexing highly repetitive texts—such as genomic databases, software repositories and
versioned text collections—has become an important problem since the turn of the …

At the roots of dictionary compression: string attractors

D Kempa, N Prezza - Proceedings of the 50th Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
A well-known fact in the field of lossless text compression is that high-order entropy is a
weak model when the input contains long repetitions. Motivated by this fact, decades of …

Resolution of the burrows-wheeler transform conjecture

D Kempa, T Kociumaka - Communications of the ACM, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Abstract The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is an invertible text transformation that
permutes symbols of a text according to the lexicographical order of its suffixes. BWT is the …

Optimal-time text indexing in BWT-runs bounded space

T Gagie, G Navarro, N Prezza - Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Annual ACM …, 2018 - SIAM
Indexing highly repetitive texts—such as genomic databases, software repositories and
versioned text collections—has become an important problem since the turn of the …

Towards a definitive measure of repetitiveness

T Kociumaka, G Navarro, N Prezza - Latin American Symposium on …, 2020 - Springer
Unlike in statistical compression, where Shannon's entropy is a definitive lower bound, no
such clear measure exists for the compressibility of repetitive sequences. Since statistical …

Dynamic suffix array with polylogarithmic queries and updates

D Kempa, T Kociumaka - Proceedings of the 54th Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
The suffix array SA [1.. n] of a text T of length n is a permutation of {1,…, n} describing the
lexicographical ordering of suffixes of T and is considered to be one of the most important …

An upper bound and linear-space queries on the LZ-End parsing

D Kempa, B Saha - Proceedings of the 2022 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2022 - SIAM
Lempel–Ziv (LZ77) compression is the most commonly used lossless compression
algorithm. The basic idea is to greedily break the input string into blocks (called “phrases”) …

[HTML][HTML] Sensitivity of string compressors and repetitiveness measures

T Akagi, M Funakoshi, S Inenaga - Information and Computation, 2023 - Elsevier
The sensitivity of a string compression algorithm C asks how much the output size C (T) for
an input string T can increase when a single character edit operation is performed on T. This …

G Navarro, N Prezza - Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 - Elsevier
The rise of repetitive datasets has lately generated a lot of interest in compressed self-
indexes based on dictionary compression, a rich and heterogeneous family of techniques …
