Online Grammar Compression for Frequent Pattern Discovery

Various grammar compression algorithms have been proposed in the last decade. A grammar compression is a restricted CFG deriving the string deterministically. An efficient grammar compression develops a smaller CFG by finding duplicated patterns and removing them. This process is just a frequent pattern discovery by grammatical inference. While we can get any frequent pattern in linear time using a preprocessed string, a huge working space is required for longer patterns, and the whole string must be loaded into the memory preliminarily. We propose an online algorithm approximating this problem within a compressed space. The main contribution is an improvement of the previously best known approximation ratio $Ω(\frac{1}{\lg^2m})$ to $Ω(\frac{1}{\lg^*N\lg m})$ where $m$ is the length of an optimal pattern in a string of length $N$ and $\lg^*$ is the iteration of the logarithm base $2$. For a sufficiently large $N$, $\lg^*N$ is practically constant. The experimental results show that our algorithm extracts nearly optimal patterns and achieves a significant improvement in memory consumption compared to the offline algorithm.

Dynamic index, LZ factorization, and LCE queries in compressed space

In this paper, we present the following results: (1) We propose a new \emph{dynamic compressed index} of $O(w)$ space, that supports searching for a pattern $P$ in the current text in $O(|P| f(M,w) + \log w \log |P| \log^* M (\log N + \log |P| \log^* M) + \mathit{occ} \log N)$ time and insertion/deletion of a substring of length $y$ in $O((y+ \log N\log^* M)\log w \log N \log^* M)$ time, where $N$ is the length of the current text, $M$ is the maximum length of the dynamic text, $z$ is the size of the Lempel-Ziv77 (LZ77) factorization of the current text, $f(a,b) = O(\min \{ \frac{\log\log a \log\log b}{\log\log\log a}, \sqrt{\frac{\log b}{\log\log b}} \})$ and $w = O(z \log N \log^*M)$. (2) We propose a new space-efficient LZ77 factorization algorithm for a given text of length $N$, which runs in $O(N f(N,w') + z \log w' \log^3 N (\log^* N)^2)$ time with $O(w')$ working space, where $w' =O(z \log N \log^* N)$. (3) We propose a data structure of $O(w)$ space which supports longest common extension (LCE) queries on the text in $O(\log N + \log \ell \log^* N)$ time, where $\ell$ is the output LCE length. On top of the above contributions, we show several applications of our data structures which improve previous best known results on grammar-compressed string processing.
