On Indexing Error-Tolerant Set Containment

Summary: Indexing asymmetric Jaccard containment with error tolerance and synonym-aware string transformations. Proposes an inverted-list index on token-sets and a size-aware lookup for containment queries; first study of Jaccard containment indexing under string transformations.
