Abstract
The edit distance (or Levenshtein distance) between two strings x, y is the minimum number of character insertions, deletions, and substitutions needed to convert x into y. It has numerous applications in various fields from text processing to bioinformatics so algorithms for edit distance computation attract lot of attention. In this talk I will survey recent progress on computational aspects of edit distance in several contexts: computing edit distance approximately, sketching and computing it in streaming model, exchanging strings in communication complexity model, and building error correcting codes for edit distance. I will point out many problems that are still open in those areas.
