An Empirical Evaluation of Set Similarity Join Techniques

Summary: Empirical evaluation of seven set-similarity-join algorithms shows verification dominates runtime; a constant small number of elements often suffices. Three winners emerge; AllPairs remains relevant and prefix-filter is the key; the work replays experiments and analyzes runtime factors. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
