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

Summary: Pass-Join adaptively handles edit-distance similarity joins over both short and long strings via partitioning, inverted indices, and provably minimal substring selection. Novel pruning accelerates candidate verification, outperforming prior methods on real datasets. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
