Top-k String Similarity Joins
2020
Top-k joins have been extensively studied in relational databases as ranking operations when every object has, among others, at least one ranking attribute. However, the focus has mostly been the case when the join attributes are of primitive data types (e.g., numerical values) and the join predicate is equality. In this work, we consider string objects assigned such ranking attributes or simply scores. Given two collection of string objects and a string similarity measure (e.g., the Edit distance), we introduce the top-k string similarity join () which returns k sufficiently similar pairs of objects with respect to a similarity threshold ϵ, which have the highest combined score computed by…
