In this book, author Thomas Mailund provides a library with all the algorithms and applicable source code that you can use in your own programs. There are implementations of all the algorithms presented in this book so there are plenty of examples.
You'll understand that string algorithms are used in various applications such as image processing, computer vision, text analytics processing from data science to web applications, information retrieval from databases, network security, and much more.
What You Will Learn
Use classical exact search algorithms including naive search, borders/border search, Knuth-Morris-Pratt, and Boyer-Moor with or without Horspool Search in trees, use tries and compact tries, and work with the Aho-Carasick algorithm Process suffix trees including the use and development of McCreight's algorithm Work with suffix arrays including binary searches; sorting naive constructions; suffix tree construction; skew algorithms; and the Borrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) Deal with enhanced suffix arrays including longest common prefix (LCP) Carry out approximative pattern searches among suffix trees and approximative BWT searches
Who This Book Is For
Those with at least some prior programming experience with C or Assembly and have at least prior experience with programming algorithms.
