Exploiting Structure in Regular Expression Queries
Summary: BLARE: a declarative, adaptive regex engine that decomposes patterns and explores alternative evaluation plans with a multi-armed bandit. Modular on RE2, PCRE2, Boost, ICU; delivers 1.6x–3.7x (RE2), 3.4x–7.9x (Boost), and up to 61.7x (ICU) across workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
