A Novel Approach to Spatial Approximate String Search by Using RSASSOL Algorithm

Abstract

We also discuss how to estimate the selectivity of a SAS query in Euclidean space, for which we present a novel adaptive algorithm to find balanced partitions using both the spatial and string information stored in the tree. For queries on road networks, we propose a novel exact method, RSASSOL, which significantly outperforms the baseline algorithm in practice. The RSASSOL combines the q-gram based inverted lists and the reference nodes based pruning. Extensive experiments on large real data sets demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our approaches.
