Edit Distance in Near-Linear Time: it's a Constant Factor
We present an algorithm for approximating the edit distance between two strings of length n in time n^{1+\epsilon} , for any \epsilon > 0 , up to a constant factor. Our result completes a research direction set forth in the recent breakthrough paper [1], which showed the first constant-factor app...

| Abstract | We present an algorithm for approximating the edit distance between two strings of length n in time n^{1+\epsilon} , for any \epsilon > 0 , up to a constant factor. Our result completes a research direction set forth in the recent breakthrough paper [1], which showed the first constant-factor approximation algorithm with a (strongly) sub-quadratic running time. The recent results [2], [3] have shown near-linear complexity only under the restriction that the edit distance is close to maximal (equivalently, there is a near-linear additive approximation). In contrast, our algorithm obtains a constant-factor approximation in near-linear running time for any input strings. |
