Pass-Join: A Partition-based Method for Similarity Joins

Summary: Pass-Join is a partition-based method for edit-distance similarity joins, segmenting strings and building inverted indices on segments. It adaptively selects substrings to minimize candidates and uses novel pruning to efficiently verify pairs, achieving state-of-the-art performance on real data for both short and long strings.
