On Distances Between Words with Parameters

Authors: Pierre Bourhis, Aaron Boussidan, and Philippe Gambette

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 259, 34th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2023)

Abstract
The edit distance between parameterized words is a generalization of the classical edit distance where it is allowed to map particular letters of the first word, called parameters, to parameters of the second word before computing the distance. This problem has been introduced in particular for detection of code duplication, and the notion of words with parameters has also been used with different semantics in other fields. The complexity of several variants of edit distances between parameterized words has been studied, however, the complexity of the most natural one, the Levenshtein distance, remained open. In this paper, we solve this open question and close the exhaustive analysis of all cases of parameterized word matching and function matching, showing that these problems are np-complete. To this aim, we also provide a comparison of the different problems, exhibiting several equivalences between them. We also provide and implement a MaxSAT encoding of the problem, as well as a simple FPT algorithm in the alphabet size, and study their efficiency on real data in the context of theater play structure comparison.

Reordering a Tree According to an Order on Its Leaves

Authors: Laurent Bulteau, Philippe Gambette, and Olga Seminck

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 223, 33rd Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2022)

Abstract
In this article, we study two problems consisting in reordering a tree to fit with an order on its leaves provided as input, which were earlier introduced in the context of phylogenetic tree comparison for bioinformatics, OTCM and OTDE. The first problem consists in finding an order which minimizes the number of inversions with an input order on the leaves, while the second one consists in removing the minimum number of leaves from the tree to make it consistent with the input order on the remaining leaves. We show that both problems are NP-complete when the maximum degree is not bounded, as well as a problem on tree alignment, answering two questions opened in 2010 by Henning Fernau, Michael Kaufmann and Mathias Poths. We provide a polynomial-time algorithm for OTDE in the case where the maximum degree is bounded by a constant and an FPT algorithm in a parameter lower than the number of leaves to delete. Our results have practical interest not only for bioinformatics but also for digital humanities to evaluate, for example, the consistency of the dendrogram obtained from a hierarchical clustering algorithm with a chronological ordering of its leaves. We explore the possibilities of practical use of our results both on trees obtained by clustering the literary works of French authors and on simulated data, using implementations of our algorithms in Python.
